hello there!! ok sure I can make a video of that. I am planning to make a discord server soon I think that's a great idea. Thank you so much and I'll keep you posted when I make a discord server
add one: communication. knowing how to both deal with people, handle them, and most importantly being patient with both your managers, co workers, and end users/customers is very critical. cause THEY WON'T BE PATIENT WITH YOU! 🤣
That is true!! Maybe I can make a video on the soft skills needed too. And yes communication is a huge thing and working in IT isn't just about working on computers anymore. And you do need patience lol and learn how to communicate even if users are rude to you lol
yeah that's true. but when you're starting out with little to no experience, you really can't be picky yet and would go for anything that will give you experience. especially now that it's very competitive even for entry level. Also, almost everything I said in the video are basic systems and concepts that are universal to whatever industry you'll be working with like every company has an OS , internet etc
Love this video. Thank you so much. What applications do you recommend for IT support? I want to start my own business with minimum expenses. I was recommended AeroAdmin as a very secure option. Is it a good idea?
You're very welcome!! I'm glad the video was helpful! I made another video on Things you should know and learn but focusing on Networking. Thank you for the kind comments!!
Thanks ma'am you're very helpful idea and pointers wise to the likes of me who want to be computer proficient and beyond like super modern cities ideas and space focus, thanks Miss East Charmer, you're charming, charmed me :)
you're very welcome! I'm so glad the video is helpful! Goodluck on your interview. I always say that it's better to overprepare than underprepare. Make sure to practice your answers
Nice!!! One tip is just really have strong troubleshooting skills coz we fix and resolve things most of the time. And when you get stuck in something, google really becomes your bestfriend. And when troubleshooting, ask for open ended questions that would help narrow down the issue. And keep on learning new skills and research
Hello , love your content. I would like to make a blog / website showcasing the knowledge I have in IT support/specialist. What are some projects I can do to put on my blog /website ?
Hello! Thank you so much! Here are some project ideas you can do: Windows Server Project - Install Roles: DHCP, Active Directory, WSUS - Organizational Unit (OU) Structure - Group Policy Objects (GPOs) - Deploy a Certificate Authority (CA)
Actually tbh I really don't paly FPS lol I just tried to play that but I suck at it and have potato aim lol. You're very welcome!! I'm glad that the videos are helpful
Onboarding/offboarding is totally depending on the company process. There's no one way to do the process. Some companies have a script that will just onboard/offboard a user and some would do it manually in AD. I've worked in 3 companies as IT and they all have different process. The main thing that we do tho is to add memberships on AD and make sure the user is on the correct OU and for offboarding is disabling the AD account
I don't really want to learn windows command since I'm Linux user, never touch windows unless it's very nessesary so I'm noob on Windows can i continue IT support with Only Linux knowledge ?
Oh I see. Well the thing is IT support from the title itself means you support the users and majority of the users are using Windows systems and sometimes Mac. So maybe Linux admin would be a better role for you
Hello there! That's a really great question! If you have the knowledge and skills, the best way is to build a portfolio of your projects that you can show on your resume like Building a Server with admin tools for example. that way you can put that on your resume with the keywords that employers are looking for like "Server", "Active Directory" etc
just enrolled on IT support certificate and this is so helful because i dont have any idea at all. just question do companies you applied give you training if ever for a entry level?
Every company will be different. I believe most decent companies will at least give you some general training on the specific software and procedures used in that organization. Even better organizations will give you full training. Though I still believe the more you know, the better. You don't need to be an expert in every single software that exists, but its good to be familiar with typical office software like MS Office and Google Docs and Adobe Acrobat, etc.
Goodluck on your IT studies! Most of the companies will train you of course and have a senior member show you the workflow and you'll have to shadow them. Of course they do this because they want you to do things according to company policy as well. But you should also have the fundamental knowledge as well.
@@EastCharmer That is what I am trying to do right now. I already have my A+ and i just passed my Security + exam. Now I am looking for a way to get some experience.
If you are going for entry level IT, there's most likely customer service involved. But there's other fields in IT/Tech that dealing with less people like datacenter, IT projects(warehouse)
Pretty much what EastCharmer said. Entry-level service IT jobs require more end-user interaction, be it over the phone, email/chat, or in-person. So if you're not a patient person, you will have a very bad time in jobs like this. You have to keep in mind you're providing people with a service, so you have to have good customer service skills and be patient with less tech-savvy people. You don't need to be best friends with everyone you work with/support, but you will need to provide good customer service.
As a mom staying at home ; what’s your advice to me to work only from home remotely in IT and what type of courses in IT will be good for me ? Is help desk analyst same as IT support ?? Which one related to assemble computers devices and fix them with tools ?? Because I don’t like to fix or assemble computers devices …any advices please 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi there! hhmmm IT is a really broad field and if you wanna get started, it's really good to learn the fundamentals. But that depends on the background you have. CompTIA A+ is where everyone usually starts to learn the fundamentals. If you wanna work remotely in IT , I think you should look for call center tech support type of jobs or like admin jobs (server/database). I think those jobs have the opportunity for remote work. Hhhmm Help Desk Analyst and IT Support roles really varies for a company so that really depends. But if you're looking for jobs, just check the description and see if there's hardware troubleshooting / PC troubleshooting involved.
Pwede po ba maging IT support kahit fresh graduate (no experience). Graduating na po kasi ako and nakakapressure kasi I'm not good at programming and I'm trying to figure out na baka makapasok parin ako sa IT industry kahit sa ibang field being a IT support. Thank you po mam
oh yes pwede. maraming nasa IT field na iba ang natapos na course o galing sa ibang background and they just worked on getting certified and gaining experience. There's a lot of areas in IT that doesn't require programming that you can explore like networking, cyber security, project management, systems administration. As long as you have solid troubleshooting skills, I think you can get into the IT industry.
In my experience, a lot of it is: printer problems (out of paper/ink), password resets, devices not plugged into power, and general unfamiliarity with technology.
@Javier Flores yeah that's true. You also have to think of the industry you're working on because it will tell you what kind of users you'll be supporting. If it's non tech industry, you'll most likely be dealing with not so challenging issues but if you work in a tech company, you'll be supporting mostly techie people like software developers and engineers and they have more complex issues like git, linux, scripts, networking etc. And in my experience it was harder to support them because they can fix the more common issues and they come to IT for their more advanced problems. So you have to keep in mind the kind of users and industry you'll be working for as well.
Hi there and thank you for your video. I’m trying to start a career with IT support like you, but I don’t have any acknowledge or any background. Can you suggest me please what certificate can help me? Is it a Google, IT or comptia A+ anything that can help me to start as enter level IT support please ?
@@EastCharmer do you know if I need to make any small projects once I don’t this certification and also, what are the best place I can study for that comptia A+
@@EastCharmer and do you think I can work remote job like if I love other country but the time soon it’s the same like in the USA ? And do you have any other tips for me? Thank you so much for your time. I really appreciate it. Salamat P.O.
Hello, IT support are the same with IT/Tech Specialist?? I passed & recieve an offer. So, I just need more idea, Since I am career shifter, by the way😅 Thanks
Hello, IT support usually is a role that supports end users directly and focuses more on troubleshooting user issues. With IT specialist, it's more broad as the role also deals with managing systems and the corporate network, implementing projects and not just helping users with issues. Tech support is entry level and IT specialist is more advanced
@@EastCharmer Opo ate sa accent mo at sa itsura mo palang alam ko ng pinay ka HAHHAAH anyway i’m 4th year college nag tatake nako thesis gusto ko po sana maging IT support specialist din kagaya mo🥰
late na po kaso penge naman po tips bilang IT veterans po 😭 1st year palang po kasi ako kaso I'm already failing programming po not sure if I wanna continue still 🥲
