Good luck Mark - I know it hasn't been easy for you - may the force be with you mate. And Jorath, while it was quite a few years ago now, I have known as much as a year of unemployment in my life - it's depressing, and it becomes very hard to keep the head up through it all, but it becomes nigh on impossible to break the cycle if you show that your head is dropping. As Fljotsdale said - positiveness both in life and the interviews is an important step in attaining your goals. Good fortune tou you both.

I spent quite some time as a PC Tech. They are usually looking for people who can learn. Its not what you know but how fast and effectively you learn. I can certainly empathize with your plight. I went on many many interviews before I got my current job. I was so good at interviewing that it was almost a dissapointment when I got hired. (almost) If you need some tips on computers, then please let me know. I hope today's interview goes well for you. Remember, confidence is the most important attribute.

Heh,Heh! I guess they wouldn't like me as I want to move into networks. The reason they ask is because no one stays a PC tech for too long. The job doesn't usually pay too well. I'm sure they would like to have more stability in the lower positions, but it just doesn't happen. I had to move down from System admin. to a PC tech job. Strangely enough, I'm still involved in the network. They just try to keep me away from operating the server. They know I can and would have a charge of job description to deal with. Who knows, they may want another network administrator as they grow. Right now, money is tight and the CEO says one is enough. I found they had to keep coming up with validation for the new Tech position I'm in!

Well, I got a call at 1:00 and I didn't get to go on the interview. The guy had a crisis, but we rescheduled for next Tuesday at 10:00 AM.

Actually I did spend 3 years buiding WhiteBox PCs and started at $7.00 an hour and finished at $13.00 an hour. That's not too bad in Nowhere, VT.

I believe the job will be mostly doing Warranty Service Work on Compaqs and some Admin work so it may not be too bad. I never was too worried about making really BIG bucks. I hope to only have to work 15 or so years and retire. I don't have a mortgage anymore, so it shouldn't be too hard, that is if I EVER get a job!

Mark Skywalker - are you the long lost brother of Luke?

Seriously, good luck on your job interview! Post and let us know how it went! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! (well, in spirit anyway, otherwise it'll be hard to get things done if my fingers were crossed all the time).
