The IT XP

We continue the series of job functions within IT that will provide more in-depth insights into what that role entails.

Topics covered:

1. Recap of last week's topic of the Help desk

2. What the Technical/Desktop Support role entails

3. Day to Day job functions that typically are performed by this role

4. What certifications you should look at getting

5. Next steps after working in this role for 1-3 years

6. Then covering some job postings in trying to help everyone interpret job details

Another Monday where I complain about how people select usernames, especially for online games. Then I close it out with a quick discussion on password vaults for personal use.

This is the first in a series of going deeper into some of the job functions you can find yourself holding within IT. I start with the help desk as your launchpad for your career. While not glamorous in nature, it will help you build upon your existing skills that will make you successful throughout the rest of your career.
