Question

Ive been unsuccesful in my job search in LA, California. Im A+, Network+, and a MCSE. The only experience I have is a end user for 3 years, troubleshooting my own problems with my desktop. Does anyone have any tips on my job search, or is LA just saturated with IT help? Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks.

Not that I'll be much help seeing as my own search is going rough, but.... I imagine LA being a larger city like T.O. must have lots of I.T. opportunities. Are you using any job search boards, like Monster.com... or what? Look for entry level Helpdesk positions. they'll love a candidate with your certs. Helpdesks here include Companies like: Symantec/IBM/HP/ATI/Yamaha
There has to be some very large Helpdesk environments in the LA area.
Hope this is some help or inspiration etc.

Dude,

Post your resume online. Put it up on Monster and 'refresh' it every day and you will get calls... especially in California. I had a Bio/Chem degree and switched in 2 months after getting my MCSE & CCNA. I was offered a job with a gov. contractor with great benefits for 35k to start. It's basically a help desk/support position but I'm working on my CCNP now which will hopefully lead to bigger and better things shortly. Good luck.

That is a very good suggestion and one I have used recently.

That can't be! L.A is a big city. Did u place your resume online?

I know $$$ is the problem for many people. Keep searching, don't quit now.

Good luck
