[techpro]

Hi My Names Matt im new to the forums but have visited before. Iv just finished my 2 year BTEC National Diploma For Computing Practitioners Networking strand, at North West Kent College in England. I have experience with repairing and building computers as i have worked in a small highstreet PC shop for 2 years now.

I just looking for some career advice really and was wondering how all you guys got into the I.T industry, im looking to get into the support/network side of things as this is what my course was based around, iv done no industry qualifications i.e. A+ Network + although i could prob take the A+ test with the knowledge i have already. I need advice on what to do next whether to get me foot in the door somewhere or go get some extra qualifications??

I have applied for various entry level support roles but have had no come back.

Just wondering if anyone had any advice for me??

Many Thanks

Matt

Maybe take a look at a hospital setting. With hospitals going towards electronic records, imaging, patient monitoring, etc the networking and computer needs have gone up.

Also you can try in the field of Networking. it has many branches of this field. i am planning to get in some day.
