Does anybody know what software Microsoft or CBT Nuggets use for their training videos? I'm thinking specifically about CBT and their ability to scribble, write and zoom on their presentations.

Race Realists posted:i loving hate online skill assessments I applied for a tech support position when I was first trying to get in to IT. Part of the entry was taking this IQ-like test online. Did it, presumably knocked it out of the park and got a call back. I was told to prepare to talk to one of the venture capital guys who just took over; he would give me some problems. Not tech problems, but bullshit programmer type problems, like how to figure out which tennis ball weighs less out of a group... I'm sure you are familiar with the type. Between his thick Indian accent and my general nervousness, I flunked whatever assessment he had. It was so ridiculous, especially for an entry level job. You would think I was apply at the Solutions Dept of Google or some poo poo, but there you go. ed: This was not a programmer job, this was figuring out why somebody's browser didn't properly display the company's web-based software.

I have complaints about my job sometimes, but I'm happy to say all the hiring we've done for IT, including me has been 25% knowledge and 75% "Are they going to fit in?"

I took a small pay cut but the regular schedule and hours coupled with getting the experience I need is invaluable. At least that's what I'm going to tell myself! I wonder who is more of a pain in the rear end, engineers or 1st graders

I have two mac minis that are depressingly slow and I want to replace with an SSD but I do not want to reinstall anything. I wish we were doing boot camp, these clowns want a Parallels install so they can diddle around on the Mac side at Starbucks or wherever, but do all their real work on the windows side I'm not anti-Mac, but gently caress's sake, sometimes its a square peg in a round hole

Danith posted:I talked to the director and he agrees that I need a raise and is going to talk to the CTO this week about it. He also says I need to pick a new title. What's a good title for someone that does a bit of everything? I will be watching our scheduler software, scheduling new jobs, misc production stuff like submitting reports and running eligibility process, help desk and AIX admin with some oracle things included... What's your bosses title? Director of IT Support? I would say something that doesn't sound like it over his position imo

SSH IT ZOMBIE posted:I'm wondering if the ability to script is pretty common among colleagues at other places. I was pretty amazed to find out how few people at the help desk I started at knew anything about scripting. They've been there for years. Then again, they've been in the help desk for years, so it probably makes sense.
