The easiest Way is when already in a Topic of a Group, just hit follow:

If you can give me any advices I would be so much grateful!

Here’s some advice - don’t send PMs to people on Spiceworks just to say ‘hi’.

This is a professional IT community. We are here to help other IT pros with issues and to provide a place where people of like interests can talk. Feel free to post about IT issue or questions in the correct Group. We also have WC for non IT topics.

Don’t use PMs until you’ve been here a while and have a better idea of what’s going on.

evicaratajec · 2018-09-24T12:14:34.000Z

Ok ok Mr.Serious. Sorry for my nonidea post.
I am new and need help!

Son.of.Jor-El · 2018-09-24T12:17:59.000Z

Welcome to IT Evica. It seemed like the OP (original post) was for advice.

I read what you wrote and it looks like you’re studying and practicing at an IT company:

Are these the same thing (like studying to practice at the same place)?
Are you going to school or studying from home?
Did the IT company hire you full time or is this a side job while you go to school?

I ask because there is good advice for both situations. Either way, asking a lot of questions to figure out a problem is a good way to start.

evicaratajec · 2018-09-24T16:08:54.000Z

Thanks a lot! U r very kind. Strong person!

I am studying course at Algebra college, but for now I have just a course for System Networks Specialist, not a certification. Probably I will be Specialist at the end of October this year.
You can check what Algebra has here: Naslovnica nova - Certifikacijski seminari

As well I need to finish VsiTe college where I have only one exame left, that exame is Programming in C Language. I will be done with it probably at the end of 2019. https://www.vsite.hr/

And I am having practice at company TIS Grupa, You can check here:

I am INTERESTED in Future Systems the most… I bought a book https://youtu.be/eOP0-9bia38

I wanna find more interesting people who wanna study with me about that. I like future very much. I would like to meet with all new inventions.

evicaratajec, please stay on topic and don’t request people contact you via PM or your personal contact info. I know you’re new here and very excited, but this is a community for IT pros, so you could probably avoid the emoji vomit and keep it professional. If you’d like to introduce yourself, please do so in the proper thread ( Introduce Yourself! ). Otherwise, stay on the topic of the question you asked.

Thank you. I study System Networks Specialist. Sorry I can not tell where because they consider it here as a personal information. I work in IT company as a volonteer. I do not have payment. I am there because of knowledge.

Corporate Slavery, also known as an Internship

Make sure you try to get involved in as much as you can while you’re there, and also try to avoid getting stuck doing busy work for others. The goal of an Internship is to train and educate someone, hopefully that they’ll come back and work for the company. Keep your nose clean (stay out of trouble) and try to be as helpful as possible. I had some good internships where I was given a programming project for the whole summer, but also could go and talk to and learn from anyone else in our department.

Most of us on here do it from work, so normal sections are very objective focused discussions, while the water cooler section is mainly for fooling around or random conversations. Some of us want to help, but get upset when posters don’t share useful or important information, or don’t seem to listen, so make sure you try to be as descriptive as possible if you ever ask a question.

but otherwise welcome, and good luck!

This is very true. Hacker/Spammers are able to view these posts and use them against you or your organization. The link Steve provided is far more open for introductions. If you can, I would edit/remove any personal contact info you’ve posted. You can message users here individually by mousing over their name and the “message” button shows up. Take Care,

evicaratajec · 2018-09-24T21:09:16.000Z

Ok, I always have number online everywhere. I am sorry but that is just me. I can not pretend! I know everything is possible to find out specially bad manners… So I am not afraid.

Thank You.

Take care!

It looks like you were already setup pretty well to start in IT.

If you can stay on at TIS Grupa, I would see how much of the work you do can align with any additional certifications you could get beyond the ones you are in school for. If there is ever an opportunity to work for a TIS Grupa client that requires security clearance, take it. These are much harder to get out of job.

If possible, try to setup a bench/lab at home where you can practice technologies you are new to or ask your employer if there are any popular technologies you could learn\help them with. In the IT industry employers > education. Education is a stepping stone, aligning with company needs gives you the truly usable skills.

As far as studying for the future, that’s a pretty vague and huge topic to combine with technology, also a huge topic. It might be easier to focus on what you like and make it a hobby to specialize and push the limits of what you choose. Unless you wind up with a company that does the same, it will stay a hobby until needed.

In Summary:

Get as much knowledge and certs as you can (even ones from work, not just school)
Job Knowledge > Class Knowledge
Get Security Clearances whenever possible
Get experience/paid first, then use that money to fuel your desires that you study on your own until you find a way to live your wildest tech dreams.

Good Luck.
