Helpdesk Skills

The major confusion among IT studying students are What & Where to start first and where to finish.


Because we started to believe that our teachers says you need to learn Phyton and Machine Learning, Ethical Hacking or some stuffs (which is the future) Remember these are syllabus’s to get you pass for the exams.

In reality we lack of awareness, what I mean by that is, we never think about how real IT professional start their careers.
Instead we believe we need to learn all domain knowledge very strong on all area of Programming, Networking and Server Administration and Database etc..

Because I did the same mistake, by believing to learn all area of IT and I end up with procrastination and fatigue without learning any skills during college which suppose to help me to land IT career.

So how can we fix this gap?

First research before you believe from someone.

  • You can find your interest in IT weather Server administration or Network, Cloud or Security services as well Database or Developer.
  • You’ll Learn How to Effectively Solve Problems and maintain connections on your IT Team and entire organization.
