I have been watching the forums and you guys have been giving great advice I have been getting emails from companies but they always seem to be some underlying motive or sales tactic I will be starting to look for a job after graduation May 7 hopefully I can get some insight from you guys. BAS Computer Information Technology.

I came to America from Africa. Went to school, finished my MBA but do not have any working experience in America. So I get interviewed by a big company in fort wayne. I believed the interview went great but at the end I started feeling terrible. I was asked whether i love working in a team or not. My answer was yes I love working in a team and i even gave examples related to my past work experience. But after answering that, the interviewer said, they need someone who is independent. Then they asked me where i see myself in 5 years time. This is what i said " in 2 to 3 years, I see myself becoming a true expert and master at this position in your company. I plan to really immerse myself in this position, understand the areas that need to be improved, discover the ins and out of the business then also look for opportunities to make my team and department as efficient as possible. Then in 5 years time, I see myself extending my expertise in different departments through applying my skills and knowledge obtained from my role". The interviewer replied, no way you would wish to extend your expertise, u just need to stay in that position or maybe go for a receptionist job. Wowwwwww I felt terrible, coz the position I was being interviewed for was in credit, but trying to lower me down made me feel terrible. I asked them what major skills are they looking at, for someone to take the position, the interviewer told me all they need is someone with great computer skills. I told them my first degree is in Information Technology and am also well vast with most excel functions. Wow the interviewer just looked at me, then i asked if there a chance of me getting the job, wow the interviewer reminded me how I dont experience in America and that i need to much training. Really felt horrible. I am wondering how i can get experience in America if companies feel they dont want to hire you. The interviewer never seemed like a true person coz he seemed against everything I was saying.

To make the story short, I will be brief on the introduction: I was working as a Facility Coordinator, and I loved it. I got this Facility through a year long transition. The day I confirmed it was complete, my boss flew up to my location and relieved me of my assignment. I've recieved nothing but the highest of praises. I did accidentally break the email chain a few times, but who doesn't? Particularly when policy changes every week.. Any way, now I'm on the job hunt. I landed one already, but I had to turn it down after they offered me half of the listing salary. I now have an interview on Saturday for a good position in a drink manufacturing facility. Also, I received an offer through email for a high position at a Crypto Currency firm. I'm ecstatic and very hopeful that one, if not both of these opportunities are obtainable. I'm excellent at interviews, and I always pull my weight. I've been going through this losing my job at "no fault of my own" maze for a decade now. I'm over it, and ready to get established. Please pray for me! Thanks everyone for reading my post.

Team,

I recently a few months back was suddenly terminated on 11/30/18. I was with a company called Neurotech LLC based in Waukesha, WI for a year and 3 months. With that said I worked so hard I had averaged 50+ hours a week. When I came into this medical service company they had zero IT governance policy or procedure of any kind. They were literally shipping off patient laptops unencrypted to and from patient homes with patient video and PHI on them. I came in created Neurotech University (a security awareness training program the entire company had to use) I brought in and hired an in internal Sr. Software Developer Position, hired a computer technician at their IL location, automated all system patching, built a help desk from the ground up including change management and KPI essentially build a solid IT organization, which resulted in the obtaining their SOC 2 Type 2 Certification which also now made them a lot more profitable. Their claim to fame is that they were a "christian" company. During all this hard work I was also going through a divorce. When I had notified the COO that I was going through this his whole opinion of my changed. Suddenly there was a ton of weird one off meetings to the hiring of a CFO and CMO. This CMO came in demanding this and that which just weren't possible so I passionately told her what she was requesting wasn't going to happen. Keep in mind I just had my annual review told my overall rating was GOOD. In fact I also just received a 3.5% raise. Given all that I was called into the GMs office on 11/30/18 told that they thank me for my hard work but my services will no longer be needed effective immediately. I asked 3 times what did I do? They told me they were not going into that and the decision was final. I have now been unemployed for around 3 months worked a very short contract as it wasn't a great fit and now i'm divorced no money with three beautiful mouths to feed and I have never ever been this down in m life. I was not expecting this at all and they did this all right before the Christmas holiday of 2018. I have been thinking of contacting an attorney for for an wrongful termination suit. This has also drawn questions currently in my search "why the short tenure" Any advice is greatly appreciated.

What I love about being in IT is the ability to assist my customers with their computer issues. I started in the field of IT late in life; my passion is with helping customers, rather than being an IT Administrator. While I love learning as I go, practicing what I have learnt in school; I've not had the opportunities to do so, which limits my IT career to the Service Desk/Help Desk.

I am currently transitioning out of the military and cannot find an IT Project Management position in D.C. or NYC. I have applied several places and sent my resume. Any advice to get a call back?

Hi everyone, I hope your holidays have been great. My name is Rob Harwood, I have worked in the IT field for around 10 years. Last October I was laid off by my company. It was tough but I won’t let that get me down. I have gotten used to rejection lately as time and time again I have heard that they want someone else. I am a hard worker and want nothing else but somewhere to work and be a valuable asset. Thanks for reading and if you know anyone that needs a valuable IT guy let me know. Thanks! And have a great holiday
