I am attempting to get my A+ certification, and also plan to complete a Desktop Technician Certificate from my local community college, to increase my chances of being hired with no experience. This is a career change for me, so I have no field experience in IT at all (although I have personal experience with building/troubleshooting PCs for about 15 years, and a resident tech job at my university 15 years ago, but obviously don't plan on anyone paying attention to that).
I keep thinking that my number one choices (for no-experience-required employers) upon fresh certifications are something like Best Buy or Geek Squad, as a PC technician. Is that correct? Where can I expect to be hired (or look for hiring) with no field experience, but excellent job history? Anyone have any experience/comments about doing such a job?
Thanks in advance, this forum is so helpful.
