…I’m going to put my glasses on

Nearly 20 years in HR, laid off in 2018, started WGU BSCSIA in 2019, graduated this week!

My entire professional career, I was never able to put anything in the “Education” section of my resume, this week that changed.

Had a Help Desk second interview today, should know tomorrow if I got the job or not.

You’re never too old to reinvent yourself!

Question in subject. Thanks in advance!

Hell’s bells that was a difficult test, all things considered.

I’m 43, rebooting my career after 20 years in HR, so it’s possible to teach an old dog new tricks, but man this one was a slug-fest.

Spent a LOT of time with subnetting drills and memorizing ports only to have about two questions each. A lot of questions about switches, routers, vlans, and vpn. 5 pbq’s that I saved till the end. Finished with 3 minutes to spare.

Took it via OnVue since my local testing center is closed forever. All in all the online proctoring was seamless.

Now I’m half way through my BS-IT degree program and getting ready for the next class!
