To clear things up, we're a public residential school for 11th and 12th graders. We aren't a charter school, but it's the closest thing you could compare it to. We receive state funding and rely on donations from businesses and alumni to cover the rest. We are technically our own school district so we have creative titles for what normal districts would have, so, for example, our principal is the Director of Student Affairs and our superintendent is the Executive Director. It's all horseshit and Judge Schnoopy posted:My guess is that attendance will plummet over the next four years as new student intake dives, the director panics over his continued lack of a raise, budgets are slashed due to lack of attendance, and the school closes in 4.5 years. is a pretty accurate account of what will happen  Anyways, I'm finding that there are several jobs located about 30 minutes away that I am either way overqualified for that don't pay nearly enough for me to survive, or they pay just what I'm making now but have insane requirements like "must have a master's degree in data architecture and 10+ years experience managing data in a university setting and also no substitutions." The jobs that pay more than what I'm making are director and coordinator positions, but none in my field. Also I really need to start familiarizing myself with Oracle.

900 tickets came in Our ticketing system is connected to our help desk inbox, and sometimes if you open the email too quickly the ticket won't register. I was shown in the past that if that happens you just need to mark the email as unread, and when I tested it with some emails with existing tickets, duplicate tickets weren't generated. The Office 365 migration over the last month happened way too fast and has been a hurricane of call chaos to the point where the team has basically been ignoring maintaining the ticket queue for the past month. Now that things have calmed down we're working on closing everything out, and the above issue seemed to be a problem, so I marked every email in the help desk queue back to December 1st as unread. Duplicate tickets were generated.

totalnewbie posted:Agreed. Oh, I'm blasting out applications for every conceivable position. I've got enough high profile connections related to the college to get a very solid foot in the door. The biggest thing is a majority of the jobs are either for network analysts or database programmers, both of which are my weakest areas. I know what a database is and I know how to finagle some ugly code to get the data I want out of it, but that's about it. But considering some of the stories I've heard of guys going in for interviews for heavy network jobs without knowing what VPN or subnets are, I feel alright about it. Nothing a bit of googling, self-teaching, and fiddling can't solve in the long run.

Farking Bastage posted:The State department of Law enforcement can suck my dick. We have a 10G link between our primary DC and our DR, and to encrypt at full speed, we ended up using MacSec on 2 of our core switches. When it finally got working, it works great. Although the carrier hosed up and it took over a year for them to replace the switches they were providing with stuff that could actually see Macsec frames and pass it on. So for awhile we had old CipherOptics encryptors in place that were limited to 1G.

An 13" iPad Pro went out, and came right in again the following day. Turns out you can't make it charge with the Micro-USB cable you have lying around at home, no matter how hard you shove it in the Lightning port. It also turns out the cost to repair the Lightning port is almost half the price of a new iPad. Before today I used to joke that some users should get an iPad because at least it only has five buttons and you can't insert the charger the wrong way. I guess I should stop saying that.

2 weeks after my Interview for the Problem Management Analyst job, they're still doing interviews, because they started them before the closing date on the job board. (Because one of the hirers happened to be on site that week.) The last couple interviews were supposed to be today, maybe tomorrow. but I just heard from a colleague who applied for it (who should have no chance next to me, but we'll see how much he bullshits) that his interview got postponed till monday as the managers got called into a short-notice meeting. So I have yet another week of worrying about if I did enough to get off the service desk before I hear back.

I think the biggest problem is that I like where I work, I like the company, I like the people I work with, and I like the technology I get to futz around with. What I don't like is my specific role because it's empty and unfulfilling and I'm ready for more. So really what would make me happy, and what I want more than anything, is just to take a step up within the department. When I look outside the company, my heart isn't really in it. I've been turned down 8 times now. Possibly more, I'm losing count. I spoke to a recruiter yesterday about a job that is identical to what I do but pays 5-10k more. But it's temp to perm

I applied also 3 times for Systems Engineering and was rejected each time. 3 years later I finally got a promotion to Systems Engineering. 1 year and some change later I moved, relatively horizontally, to an Information Security Engineer where I am now and where I wanted to be for the last 4 years.

gonna e/n for a second here but honestly my biggest obstacle is job rejection fatigue. Maybe I suck at interviews, perhaps I'm just a lovely human being and don't realize it, but I'm just tired of being rejected all the time. Every interview I've had for the past 2 years ended up in a rejection, even the ones that I didn't really want that much. I'm stuck in that catch 22 of needing experience to get a job that will get me the experience. This is all complicated by the fact that I kind of desperately need more money because I have a wedding coming up so taking a step back in pay isn't really an option. 2 years ago I was told by our network team that I need a CCNA to get a job there. Six months later I got my CCNA and that's amounted to...jack poo poo. There's been 3 openings in that department since I got my CCNA. One had some kind of back room deal go on and I was never even given a chance, and the other 2 was "Hey renegret it was a tough call you were both very good candidates but the other person was just slightly better I'm sorry but next time for real you got this!" From the outside I know it looks like a carrot on a stick and personally I'd be yelling at me to leave, but man, I really want that job.

What have I been rejected from internally... let's see Network team: 2 times. 3 if you count the time where I comedy applied despite being horribly unqualified. Video team: 3 times. Supervisor: 2 Systems : 1 (e: oh yeah, 1 more for an admin position supporting an internal tool. The person who ended up getting the job, is a bigger tool than the tool she got hired to support) All internal job postings have to go through HR and have a phone screening with HR first. At this point I'm on the first name basis with the HR lady, and when she sees my name pop up she just calls me and says "hey I'm sending your name up to management, nice talking to you again!" thank you for listening this has been the renegret e/n therapy station nation Renegret fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Jan 24, 2018 |

My boss requested that we all send her our goals for the next year at this company. I'm a tier 1 help desk tech with six years of professional experience. My goal is to find a better job. I put some stuff down indicating that I'd like to transition to a more appropriate role helping with our completely busted AD and GPO setups(seriously, we set printers with local ports via batch scripts for our satellite offices despite having a print server that is entirely intended for them to use), since "get the hell out of here before this place kills me" doesn't really go over well in a professional setting.

Cool I just had a chat with the guy who got the last network job over me because I just remembered something. A little less than 2 years ago we were both CCNA-less. The department decided they were going to do some extra training and get some people their CCNAs. I was notified that I was selected for the program, except by that point I was already studying hard for a month, and I had already scheduled my ICND1 the same week that the classes were set to start. I had a chat with the manager of the network team and told him that because I'm so far along, a lot of the class would be wasted on me and it would be better for the team if I just continued doing my own thing and stepped aside for someone else to take the class who would get more value out of it than I would. The person who got the promotion over me is the same person who got a spot in that class because I stepped aside. He admitted to me he would've never gotten his CCNA without that class. I lost a promotion because I did the right thing. What a lovely way to learn an obvious lesson.
