Please tell us how to get into IT without a degree! I have an interview for a small tech company this week and I’m going in as admin but as things expand I can bootstrap into a better role and I’d really appreciate knowing what skills are likely to be crucial for making that pivot.

Absolutely!! You'd be in a great position to switch to IT, since as an admin, you'd already have some familiarity with the systems and with the workplace in general. Moving between roles is easier in a smaller workplace, too.

So, this is a semi-brief guide to getting an entry-level position, for someone with zero IT experience. That position is almost always going to be help desk. You've probably heard a lot of shit about help desk, but I've always enjoyed it.

So, here we go! How to get into IT for beginners!

The most important thing on your resume will be

✨~🌟Certifications!!🌟~✨

Studying for certs can teach you a lot, especially if you're entirely new to the field. But they're also really important for getting interviews. Lots of jobs will require a cert or degree, and even if you have 5 years of experience doing exactly what the job description is, without one of those the ATS will shunt your resume into a black hole and neither HR or the IT manager will see it.

First, I recommend getting the CompTIA A+. This will teach you the basics of how the parts of a computer work together - hardware, software, how networking works, how operating systems work, troubleshooting skills, etc. If you don't have a specific area of IT you're interested in, this is REQUIRED. Even if you do, I suggest you get this cert just to get your foot in the door.

I recommend the CompTIA certs in general. They'll give you a good baseline and look good on your resume. I only got the A+ and the Network+, so can't speak for the other exams, but they weren't too tough.

If you're more into development or cybersecurity, check out these roadmaps. You'll still benefit from working help desk while pursuing one of those career paths.

The next most important thing is

🔥🔥Customer service & soft skills🔥🔥

Sorry about that.

I was hired for my first ever IT role on the strength of my interview. I definitely wasn't the only candidate with an A+, but I was the only one who knew how to handle customers (aka end-users). Which is, basically, be polite, make the end-user feel listened to, and don't make them feel stupid. It is ASTOUNDING how many IT people can't do that. I've worked with so many IT people who couldn't hide their scorn or impatience when dealing with non-tech-savvy coworkers.

Please note that you don't need to be a social butterfly or even that socially adept. I'm autistic and learned all my social skills by rote (I literally have flowcharts for social interactions), and I was still exceptional by IT standards.

Third thing, which is more for you than for your resume (although it helps):

🎇Do your own projects🎇

This is both the most and least important thing you can do for your IT career. Least important because this will have the smallest impact on your resume. Most important because this will help you learn (and figure out if IT is actually what you want to do).

The certs and interview might get you a job, but when it comes to doing your job well, hands-on experience is absolutely essential. Here are a few ideas for the complete beginner. Resources linked at the bottom.

Start using the command line. This is called Terminal on Mac and Linux. Use it for things as simple as navigating through file directories, opening apps, testing your connection, that kind of thing. The goal is to get used to using the command line, because you will use it professionally.

Build your own PC. This may sound really intimidating, but I swear it's easy! This is going to be cheaper than buying a prebuilt tower or gaming PC, and you'll learn a ton in the bargain.

Repair old PCs. If you don't want to or can't afford to build your own PC, look for cheap computers on Craiglist, secondhand stores, or elsewhere. I know a lot of universities will sell old technology for cheap. Try to buy a few and make a functioning computer out of parts, or just get one so you can feel comfortable working in the guts of a PC.

Learn Powershell or shell scripting. If you're comfortable with the command line already or just want to jump in the deep end, use scripts to automate tasks on your PC. I found this harder to do for myself than for work, because I mostly use my computer for web browsing. However, there are tons of projects out there for you to try!

Play around with a Raspberry Pi. These are mini-computers ranging from $15-$150+ and are great to experiment with. I've made a media server and a Pi hole (network-wide ad blocking) which were both fun and not too tough. If you're into torrenting, try making a seedbox!

Install Linux on your primary computer. I know, I know - I'm one of those people. But seriously, nothing will teach you more quickly than having to compile drivers through the command line so your Bluetooth headphones will work. Warning: this gets really annoying if you just want your computer to work. Dual-booting is advised.

If this sounds intimidating, that's totally normal. It is intimidating! You're going to have to do a ton of troubleshooting and things will almost never work properly on your first few projects. That is part of the fun!

Tips

DO NOT work at an MSP. That stands for Managed Service Provider, and it's basically an IT department which companies contract to provide tech services. I recommend staying away from them. It's way better to work in an IT department where the end users are your coworkers, not your customers.

DO NOT trust remote entry-level IT jobs. At entry level, part of your job is schlepping around hardware and fixing PCs. A fully-remote position will almost definitely be a call center.

DO write a cover letter. YMMV on this, but every employer I've had has mentioned my cover letter as a reason to hire me.

DO ask your employer to pay for your certs. This applies only to people who either plan to move into IT in the same company, or are already in IT but want more certs.

DO NOT work anywhere without at least one woman in the department. My litmus test is two women, actually, but YMMV. If there is no woman in the department in 2024, and the department is more than 5 people, there is a reason why no women work there.

DO have patience with yourself and keep an open mind! Maybe this is just me, but if I can't do something right the first time, or if I don't love it right away, I get very discouraged. Remember that making mistakes is part of the process, and that IT is a huge field which ranges from UX design to hardware repair. There are tons of directions to go once you've got a little experience!

Disclaimer: this is based on my experience in my area of the US. Things may be different elsewhere, esp. outside of the US.

I hope this is helpful! Let me know if you have more questions!

btw guys, I have to give some bad news. My PC decided to die on me. Luckily, I got all my Paint Tool Sai files saved on an exterior hard disk, so they're all good, but I can't open them without the app (rip all my wips), so from now on I will post what I can find of what I saved as a png or what I sent on my Discord server. If my PC can't be repaired, I will probably start posting doodles or drawings on Traditional until I hopefully manage to get a replacement.

Im Getting real SICK Of EA/Sims 4 shit...

So, After that update my game has been Laggy and glitchy. I had to delete all my Gameplay mods and redownload them. It was working again but I had to start a new save file. then suddenly for the first time my PC crashed and restarted.

Then when I attempted to launch my game last night, I was getting this "game Requires an update to launch" but my game as already up to date. I Repaired my game, Repaired EA app, Cleared The cache for both. Even Uninstalled and reinstalled EA App. Then when I gave and started typing this to see if anyone one on here could help, MY GAME OPENED. but once it got to Main menu my sims looked Broken (That Patchy white '??' marks on them and weird random Weird skin tones) I'm SOOOOO over this. can anyone help please??

[darksunradiance]

Howdy Tumblr! Ur local auDHD nonbinary menace here, drowning in debt and now needing to make some major repairs on my car, so I'm opening a variety of commissions! let me design your next tattoo, spruce up your favorite magic card, or draw your OCs 🏵️ more details below the cut!

Tattoo designs: all tattoo designs are done traditionally in black and white ink and will be sent to you digitally. If you wish to have the physical version, a small shipping fee will be added. My work has been tattooed on many people at this point and most artists find my style to be very easy to translate to skin.

MTG Alters: more information on my magic alters can be found at altersbyn8.carrd.co

Characters: all character drawings are done traditionally with pencil, ink, and alcohol based markers. They will be scanned and sent to you digitally. if you wish to have the physical version, a small shipping fee will be added. I do have some experience with simple digital color and if you are interested in that style let me know! I will do any OCs, especially DND/ttrpg or tarnished/video games pcs!

I can accept payment thru PayPal, Venmo, and Cash app. You can choose to pay in full before I begin, otherwise a 50% deposit will be required before I begin, and the remaining 50% will be paid at the "sketch" stage (if you've commissioned just a sketch, it will be due upon completion. if you've commissioned an ink or colored piece, it will be due before I begin the final inking/coloring process).

You can contact me here via dm, my Instagram , or email me at n8.lessly@gmail.com !

more examples of my work can be found at my portfolio or my art tag . Thanks for reading and sharing!

@themaresnest-dumblr replied to your post “It's Finally Winter Break! I'm FREE!”:

Okay, the first question is tell us all about the computer, the second is what sodding processor does it use that will allow you to play Sims 3? Like the graphic btw, it looks like a They Might Be Giants video.

​I actually haven't been able to install/play TS3 at ALL! I've never had a problem running TS3 before, so this sucks!

At first I thought it was the EA App effing up--I had it install the base game and all the EPs at once, but that didn't work, so I figured OK, let me uninstall everything and ONLY install the base game. That FINALLY got the TS3 Folder to appear in Documents, and the Launcher finally loaded. But every time I click Play, it instantly crashes back to the EA App. I have zero mods or Store CC installed or anything. And the "Repair" button on the EA App appears to do EFF ALL, so.... *whimpers*

I never had a laptop with Nvidia and different V-RAM/GPU components, so I'm a fish out of water as far as specs go with this new PC, since my dinosaurs ran TS3 just fine, LOL. Before this I was on a Win10 8GB Dell laptop (2017-2023), and before that I was on a 4GB Vista HP laptop (2009-2017).

This new laptop is a Win11 Asus--it runs Baldur's Gate 3 (barely, LOL, even my Steam Deck is crying), so I have no clue why it can't run TS3:

Processor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900H, 2600 Mhz, 14 Core(s), 20 Logical Processor(s). Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Laptop GPU.

I made an Error Report that I sent to EA, so hopefully they tell me something, otherwise I'm screwed.

[yuauaua]

Okay so, my sims era may be gone..

So what has happened in the last few hours is:

I accidentally deleted my Sims folder in Documents, including the mods folder while clearing space on my PC, which all got permanatly deleted since its 200GB +, 38,595 files.

I recovered those files using a third-party app and placed as many files i could get back, back into my Mods folder.

However, when I tried to open the game, every single piece of CC and Mods are marked corrupted and I cannot open the game.

Iv'e tried repairing my game to no avail

If anyone has solutions, please send them to me, I am not tech savvy so idk what im doing. If the only solution is redownloading everything again, I'm not sure if I'll continue playing.

Hi dear. I'm at my wit's end with Reshade and humbly ask for your guidance. The latest Reshade is installed for TS4 on my PC and it runs smoothly up until I select literally any preset. Press OK or hit enter, and the game immediately crashes back to the EA app. Here is a [hopefully exhaustive] list of every solution I could find online and have executed so far:

Typed preset name instead of clicking

Changed fullscreen to windowed fullscreen and windowed

Deleted "Docking=" and "Window=" lines in [OVERLAY] section of Reshade.ini

Allowed full control in Security tab under Properties

Ran game as admin

Checked for any updates if needed

Uninstalled and reinstalled both game and Reshade files

Restarted PC numerous times

Repaired game numerous times

Renamed d3d9.dll to dxgi.dll

Installed DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

Checked for driver update

Checked for all preset version updates

Installed .NET Framework 4.8.1

Followed shader/texture installation tutorials on YT

Deleted Default.ini from Bin

Removed Tray and Mods

I'm sorry you're having problems, that must be so frustrating.

You've done really well with your troubleshooting so far. Crashing like this is a difficult thing to diagnose sometimes. You can try looking in your d3d9.log file to see what it says at around the time when you crash. It might give some hints as to what is happening.

Otherwise I would ask, have you tried a different version of ReShade? Also, what happens if you don't pick any preset at all (so reshadepreset.ini is auto selected) and just start enabling a few effects yourself?
