Bardlebee posted:Yes, it does take some extra knowledge, but the skills needed pales in comparison to something like Network Design, Network Administration, or Programming. Having that said, 8 bucks an hour is still a crime. Though I wouldn't be shocked by an hour. It also does not help that temp agencies have flooded the market either. You cannot do a search on a job board these days without getting 20 different temp agencies trying to get your resume. Most of these either don't exist or will gleefully accept whoever will take the lowest wage.

chizad posted:I can't remember what was predicted for 2011, but I did notice something back in late 2009/early 2010 when I was looking for my current job. Postings for entry level helpdesk/desktop support positions weren't too hard to find, and neither were postings for senior level/management positions, but postings for mid-level positions were few and far between. That's more the problem than anything else. Guys with too much experience to be considered 'Entry Level' but not enough to be 'Management' or 'Senior Level' are kinda left in the lurch.

My Experience: About 4-5 years of small/mid office network wrangling, disaster recovery (help, I spilled a Venti Caramel Frappachino in my computer!), weird setup replacement (You're replacing a 15 year old Packard Bell, it needs to splice into this GPS, this car battery, and THIS antenna.) and general tech support (Sir, perhaps if the lights aren't coming on in your office, you should CALL the physical plant instead of trying to email them.) Two years of that was spent working in a repair shop dealing with all the fun and exciting ways middle class America can obliterate expensive electronics, on site calls for network setup and virus removal and evading small, yappy dogs. What I'm Looking For: Give me a nice, stable office environment where I can get to know folks and help fix their problems and I'm happy. I love figuring out why computers stop working and reversing that. I'm interested in moving more into the networking side of things but right now I'm very much a hardware and virus removal guy. What I'm Not Looking For: Pure call center work where I don't actually get to get my mitts on a machine and actively FIX it. Where I Live: Dallas, TX (more accurately, Far North Dallas) Where I'm Looking: Dallas, I just moved here. When Can I Start: PDQ Can Be Reached At: watkins . jr @ gmail . com
