When I interviewed for my first-ever I.T. job, I mentioned about port numbers and the I.T. Director looks at me and says "Wow, I've been doing this for 20 years and still haven't had to remember any ports." I was as green as the grass outside is, and he hired me solely off my soft skills. Told me that if I was trainable, he could teach me all the hands-on I would ever need for that job.

I think now its different. Because I have retail exp working at walgreens radioshack and as a porter with my associates degree in IT and comptia A+ and I been getting straight rejections. Probably going to fix my resume and see what happens. Because I can't even get a t1 postion . But than again nyc is extremely competitive

Vendor-neutral certifications are usually just a baseline to getting a job. Senior positions are going to want vendor-specific certifications based on the role and the organization's environment.

"It's more about knowing where to find the information faster than having it all in your head" No. While you can search stuff up and you will for sure, you still should memorize as much as you can about everything because it makes solving very complex problems both faster and in some cases is basically the only way to solve them. If you get issue caused by multiple different services malfunctioning in some way you won't have the time to go read a book about each of them to know what to do.

Facts. In the coursera course, one of the labs is literally all about looking up error codes on the windows website to find the solution. You don't have to know exactly how it works, but being able to find the quickest solution is most important.

I agree with you tbh. In 2024 the A+ is below the bare minimum. If you’re completely new to IT and you want to land a job honestly you should take the time and learn 2 more certs because the A+ won’t really get you anywhere, not even an entry level position
