Computer Support Specialist Interview

By
Computer Support Specialist Interview
 
I’ve set up an interview with my big brother who is a computer support specialist for a company called A.S.I. This gave me the opportunity to learn a little more details about the job description. The most important information I have gained out of the interview is to know a computer support specialist’s main task is to oversee the daily performance of computer systems, besides that some other task that are very important are also:
 
      -Set up equipment for employee use.
      -Install and perform minor repairs to hardware and software.
      -Provide technical assistance and support.
      -Recommend improvements or upgrades to the organization.

How did he get in the field? When he was a kid he was always interested in computers, so from the age 16 he started doing computer courses, from A+ to Networking. My next question was how he got the job he has right now and what were the requirements, the minimum requirement is an A+ certification for entry level job or internship at his corporation. Another question I also asked him what advise can he give to me to pursue this career, he told me it’s very important to get into a technology school and get some certificates especially A+ because even though I will graduate from college, companies still require certificates so try to get as much as possible.

Informational Interview with Civil and Criminal Defense Lawyer

By
I conducted an informational interview with a Civil and Criminal defense lawyer in New York City. He has been associated with this profession since twenty five years. He spends most of his time dealing cases in Kings County.   ·                      What types of criminal defense matters do you handle? The first case that I dealt in court was an arson case. On average, I handle about 2 homicide cases per year. Most common cases are drug cases and white collar crime . I have also handled thousands of DUIs (Driving under the Influence) and a handful of sex crimes over the years. I handle both misdemeanors and felonies. ·                      Can you tell me about a typical day on the job? There is no such thing as an average day for an attorney, you might spend whole day...

The Benefits of Having Your Visions/Goals Outlined

By
 We all remember creating some sort of vision board as a project for a class in either elementary school or middle school, and at that time, we either saw it as something fun and exciting to do, or just another stressful homework/project. As we get older, things similar to a vision board/creating outlines for things we want to accomplish become essential for our everyday lifestyle, and our long term goals. Today, we’ll be looking at some of the benefits of having a plan/schedule or outline for everyday life, as well as long term goals. 1. When you have a schedule/a to-do list, you efficiently assign a sufficient amount of time required to complete certain tasks, rather than leave most things undone because of distractions or not having a particular guideline to follow. This is most prominent amongst youths as we often get side tracked by social media, or other entertainment factors that hinder us from completing our daily tasks. 2. Motivation: When you wake up everyday, look at the...

To Wear or Not To Wear?: Tips on dressing for success

By
So, the first step is over. You finished filling out the application for the job; listing all of your work experience, answering numerous questions about your work ethic on an online questionnaire, and you even polished up your hand dandy resume! After restless nights of worrying, you finally get a call saying they would love to have you come in for an interview: now what? First, don't panic ! Finding an appropriate outfit can be intimidating, but with the help of Google it is possible. Second, the outfit you should wear is based on what type of position you are going for or what your potential company is. If it's a store like Macy's, for example, it would make sense for you to wear all black since that's the kind of uniform the employees wear.  If you're working in an office setting, then you should go either business casual or professional. When in doubt of what to wear, go with business casual! Here are a few images of what business casual and professional ou...
