Technology and jobs
what would the best job for me be if i'm looking for one that is task-oriented with minimal people interaction?
I currently have a bachelors degree in psychology but I am open to any job that involves me having to complete a task oriented to-do list everyday for my job with minimal human interaction. I have recently gotten my CPC-A certification for medical coding. I am open to learning any skill that I have to and another important part of me is an uncapped amount of money. In other research that I have done about this, I am brought to the tech world which i'm very open too, I just don't know what path to take or where I should start. I want to learn what all of my options are and potentially find careers that I don't know about yet. I love tedious tasks and problem-solving/logic related tasks. There is so much more that I could dive into about what i'm looking for. I am looking for the right person to talk to about this!
How do I get my first IT freelance job?
Hi everyone, I’m an international student currently studying a Master’s in IT, switching my career from retail to tech. My goal is to eventually work as an IT freelancer, or maybe a part-time freelancer. Over the past year, I’ve spent a lot of time learning and building real projects. I’ve launched several websites using React.js and Vue.js, and used some AWS cloud services for deployment, including my own developer portfolio site. One of the websites I built was for a friend’s event company, just because I wanted to help and gain experience. Last week, I also launched my first iOS app. Even though I built it with ChatGPT’s help, it gave me my first real experience in submitting an app to the App Store and understanding the process. Besides frontend and backend work, I’m also self-studying CCNA to strengthen my networking fundamentals. I sometimes share my progress on social media, and once a former colleague asked if I could build a website for her new boutique. But after that, there haven’t been any updates yet. So up to now, I still haven’t officially received my first freelance job request. I’d really love some advice from people who have freelanced or are freelancing in IT. How did you get your very first freelance job? And is there anything more I can do to start getting real opportunities? Thanks in advance!
I'm seeking to build my network in cybersecurity further. What are some optimal ways to go about accomplishing this?
I recently joined ISACA as a student member and attended my first chapter meeting. I had some great conversations, but didn't necessarily walk away with any new connections. I've attended several virtual webinars over the past couple of months as well, and gained new LinkedIn connections, but nothing in-depth as of yet.
How to begin your IT career with a lack of experience?
What’s the best way to leverage my first IT certification (CompTIA A+) for a job, especially without long-term experience? I’ve also completed a bootcamp and a Coursera support course. While I know they’re not top-tier credentials, I believe they show commitment and staying power. I’m aiming to build a mostly remote-based IT career. What steps should I take to get started in that direction? Lastly, how realistic is it to break into chat support (text support) at the entry level? It seems like companies expect multitasking and prior experience with multiple chats, almost like a near-L2 role. Is it possible to get in without that background? And thanks for answering.
