guys help me get a beginner IT job in Minnesota I'm about to die from no money (not real I have a month or two left but it's still really serious)
Indeed only has shit for people with doctoral degrees & 800 certifications & I have a high school diploma & no certifications. I also want something where people aren't going to discriminate against me for not being normal like people at my previous job did.
I can't program but I can shell script ok (not POSIX compliant but I can learn that too). I can do basic Linux administration (ACLs, groups, user accounts). I don't know shit about Windows. I can troubleshoot or work around issues that don't have a good solution. I have set up several functional Internet connected services running off of a shitty mini PC as a server. I can terminate twisted pair cables so good, my cables look better than a store bought cable. I can run cable & set up physical network infrastructure. I'm probably underestimating myself because I feel like there's so much I don't know & I'm not confident, but I'm not scared of the computer like most people are & I don't get frustrated & I learn about it instead.
Also I can solder & fix broken* shit. I haven't done board level repairs of electronics besides cleaning gamer gunk that causes shorts, but I make cleaner solder joints than any of you could (my secret is extra lead poisoning & rosin core solder (: don't forget to chew on the pellets that come out of the solder sucker for good luck) on electronics assembly kits.
*mechanical stuff
Not sharing my resume because I don't want to dox myself.
