1.) Follow Danish’s advice on applying for jobs on indeed with the filter set to the latest date. Honestly, if it’s 4+ days old, ignore it. Most likely it’ll have 100+ applicants in que.
3.) They are looking for experience, sure, but let them know what YOU can bring without experience. My last interview, I experimented and said hey, why not, let me be honest with them. So I let them know straight up…”I may not have the required experience under your job posting requirements, but with my last two years of studies that ended with a 3.8 GPA, while maintaining a full time job shows that I am a highly dedicated individual who strives to become more knowledgeable in IT, your company needs someone who is dedicated, and I believe I’m that guy.” – Say something along those lines, they KNOW you don’t have experience, so create a punch line for it.
The first thing I would say is to make a well formatted Resume along with a coverletter. Don’t fake your experiences as they will catch it immediately if they ask you a question on it and you couldn’t answer. No one wants to hire people who lie. Be honest of whatever you have done previously, be it a sales associate at Walmart. But try to capture your transferable skills you achieved by doing it which can be easily transitioned to IT and make you successful.
Third was a bit intense round; Technical Questions with my manager. Since, I was at the site he actually took me to the Admins room and asked me questions right out of the system. I went through your AD course and Ticketing system videos, so that came handy. He asked me a lot of questions on Server 2012 R2, regarding installing, Services etc. VMware: How to use Vmotion and transfer a running VM on a different ESXi. Regarding DC’s their use. Apache servers, IIS and Exchange. Since I know a little bit of DB2 asked me about that too.

Hi Danish,
Im so proud to tell you that I landed an IT job in one of the largest IT company in the world and the biggest tech firm in Canada (as per Wikipedia). Since I started my membership in your site, I visit it everyday and learn from the lessons you have discussed. I actually don’t have any knowledge in Active Directory, etc to apply in an Entry Level position in IT. But because of your learning materials and motivation that I have watched in YouTube, I was able to ace my interview as a Service Desk Analyst and told them that I have a continuing education or online course that will back me up for the said position.
Thank you so much! I hope you continue to help individuals like me who has the eagerness to learn. I am planning to get a Membership Plus subscription for a more advanced training.

I passed all 4 sets of Interview process, three of them are Panel interview.
Tell me something about yourself, your Educational Background, Employment History and why did you leave the company.
How much salary do you expect?
What do you know about Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange Server, RSA Authentication, etc.?
Compare Change Management to Case Management?
Are you familiar how to use Citrix, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Outlook, how to use them for troubleshooting?
This is a 24-hour business, meaning our schedule can be shifting, how will you cope up with shifting schedule?
If you don’t have any technical experience working as an IT Support Specialist (Service Desk Analyst), what do you think your edge to other candidates who already have a strong background in IT?
Given the scenario, how would you troubleshoot this…and what if you already provided the path to resolution and still none of them works, how will you resolve that?
We are looking for individuals who can contribute to company’s success, what is your 5-year plan?
What will make you leave the company?
Do you have any pending applications?
Why do you think we should hire you?

I recently took a test for a Service Desk Analyst position and just by viewing your videos on Active Directory, Ticketing, Troubleshooting and Office 365 I was able to pass the test. I am a current student at My Computer Career, I started in Sept. 2016 and everything I’ve learned so far plus your videos helped me pass the test. Thank you!
