AMX Helpdesk Support Specialist Job Descriptionv2

Did you know that networking (knowing someone) is still the most popular way to break into the IT field? Here are some ways to help you in this area:

• Let everyone know you are looking for an internship/job (friends, neighbors, church members, classmates, teachers, family, etc.)
• Ask your acquaintances if they would put in a good word for you or introduce you to a manager in the IT department.
• Many of the larger organizations have an internship program. Search the web site or contact the HR department to find out if the company has this. CSX, Citizen’s Insurance, and Blue Cross Blue Shield are a few that I know. The CSX one is for students in the Bachelors program. It may be of longer duration and more hours than the internship class requires.
• Think about your dream company. Check with their HR department to see if they do internships. Otherwise, see if you can locate a web site that might list employees. Reach out to the IT director to see if you might volunteer.
• Use LinkedIn (or sign up for this). LinkedIn is a way to stay connected with colleagues in the workforce.

A former student of mine, Jim Webb, has been promoted and is giving back to the program from which he came. Jim is looking for student interns. If someone has some extra time this summer, you could go ahead and start this even though you might be doing the internship in Fall term.

Have you ever thought about freelancing to get your internship hours in or trying it to see if you might do your internship that way? There are web sites such as Work Market that allows you to enroll and go for jobs. One of my students repaired a cable and got over $50 for doing so. Another one I saw there was a flat fee for fixing laser printers (swapping out power supplies, motherboards, and something else) and PCs. It was $75 for each one you did. Great way to get experience for your resume and fit into some of your schedules.
