Yeah, it's a little heartbreaking. I'm at a point where....I did IT in the military for 4 years. Got out of the military, went to school, got my degree in IT. I've been working at a desktop/network support admin since the monday after graduation for a credit union and quite honestly, I'm bored out of my mind. To put a long story short - I dont want to work in IT anymore. At least not this kind of IT. My desire was information security, or even web development, but unfortunately, I dont have enough experience in either one, to get a job....and there's only so much education I can try to do in my spare time.
As it is, I think I'm trying to go another direction anyway. Accounting - payroll, budgetting, bookkeeping, whatever. I found an online certificate program I'm actually trying to get a grant from AXiD to pay for me, (if they wont, then I'll have to find a way to come up with the money myself). The problem is - my "experience" in this kind of field is strictly the volunteer stuff I've done, as FVP and now Financial Advisor, for AXiD. I updated my resume to include my volunteer experience...but wether or not it's effective, I dont know.
You know - it sucks. Alot of people change their majors 12 times. I didn't. I KNEW I wanted computers. Yeah right. I've realized I like USING computers, not working on them. I made an A with my eyes closed in Accounting my last semester in school....man, if only I had taken it sooner....
I guess I need to find a headhunter, get some advise on my resume, (I think it's pretty good, but I'm really not sure) regoup and go from there.....
On a different note, my friend Cynthia told me that there's a reason i didnt get that job - that there's a better one out there for me, it's just a mnatter of time until i find it. I just wish it would be sooner rather than later. I'm at a point with my current job that i'm dreading my 1 year review, and was hoping to avoid it by being somewhere else before it happened. Not that I think I've done anything wrong...just that, I'm bored out of my mind and i think I have nowhere to go. There's no room for growth here.
