Job: Entry level PC tech

[drdabbles]

Hey all.

I'm looking for an entry level PC tech to be my assistant at a Bedford, NH software company. Job responsibilities include:


Ordering PC's from dell Premier site
Repairing computers when they break down
Installing, configuring, and deploying computers for employees
Daily user support:

Installing printers
Installing software
Helping fix software problems
Cisco VoIP problems

Most important: Getting me coffee :lol: j/k


If you are starting out in the computer field and would like to learn more, there is certainly an opportunity here! We have lots of Cisco equipment, complex network routing, multiple locations, and two CRITICAL production SQL clusters.

I do not know what the pay scale is, so I can't answer that question. It is an entry level position, so you probably shouldn't expect $100K. :up: All of our PC's are modern, our entire production environment is less than 2 years old, and the company has a total of 62 employees.

If you are looking for entry level computer work please PM me. I can give you further details and contact information. I'd like to give the NES crowd first crack at this instead of just posting to Monster.

Damn wish I finished college as I was going for informational technology

Bump for the night crew

[Midnight_Rush]

[Midnight_Rush]

[drdabbles]

...what about IPv4 and IPv6 experience. And of course, the most important, coffee. Hazelnut, cream, 5 sugars. :lol:

Macs ftw :squee:

If not for the 2 hour commute. :lol:

Macs ftw :squee:

I second that I love my mac :squee:

Damn i actually have experience in all that except VoIP, and working directly with dell. That is basically the job I was doing at the computer Center here on campus. But of course my degree is in Geo-Chemistry and not Computer Sci.

Also, Farmington is forever away.

Just so everybody knows, a degree is not a requirement for this job. The ONLY time I have set foot on a college campus was to drink, or to eat food and get free wifi. :lol: I have no degree...just a willingness to learn anything I don't already know. And that's what I'm looking for in a person.


Also, just to go on record, Macs can die in a paint fire. I hate the fact that with ALL apple products you either have to bow to Steve's idea of a computer, or you have to break the device. Computers should be about choice, just like cars. To sum up, Mac users are crayon eating, nose picking, crowd following, hipster loving, paste tasting, finger painting, snobby, preachey, smelly, dumb asses.

:rofl:

I own a Mac. And several Dells. :up:

[squeethebee]

So no go on my skills then?

[jonny-rockets]

maybe we should have a job posting forum? my buddy is a headhunter and calls me all the time at work to ask if i have employees that can do work. its mostly in mass but some of the rates are kickass (latest was 60$/hr for an experienced python scripter for the boston globe).

There's a time and a place for those skills. I shot up some old equipment, and it felt SO good.

But no. You're no good to me. :unamused:

I presume it was for a Django developer?

i can get more details for anyone interested. not 100% sure but i would assume django too

[jmc23200]

Macs are for pron lol. I'm currently an IT Coordinator for RSM McGladrey in Boston, MA. I locally support 110 and regionally support about 1200 via CA Support Bridge. I will do it if I can do it remotely from my current job :) Or if you pay better haha

Wait a minute, you just described everybody that has tried to race me with a honda civic.........

[Gearhead Geek]

Figured I would post the 1 question I have before I shoot you a pm. How necessary is the VoIP experience? Besides that I have roughly 4 years of work experience doing the other stuff (and many years beyond that doing it as a hobby).

[jmc23200]

One of my roles in my local office is the Avaya Phone System Admin. I currently setup phone extensions, VDN's(personal fax lines), voicemail and stand alone fax lines using the Avaya Console. What specifically about VoIP are you looking for? A Phone Admin? Someone to implement a new system?

[squeethebee]

Are you aware that there are dangers associated with entry level PC tech positions? Bump.

[legacygt]

I can do everything on that list except for Cisco VoIP problems :( and macs ftw.

ed

You mean other than the fact that it is entry level, most likely low pay, and this position would be eliminated first if any cut backs were being made :)

My motto is it never hurts to ask. Who knows, maybe I could get hired as a contractor :)

[drdabbles]

We actually already have a contractor. We would rather pay a person than a contractor, because a person has a vested interest in the company. Also, when you have a contractor doing work, it's $100 per hour for a CHEAP one. And the work is almost always billed as a minimum of 1hr.

An example of what someone would have done yesterday: We have 12 all-in-one computers that are being used in our training room. I needed to reinstall Windows and all our basic software on one, and then ghost (copy) that system to the rest. If you haven't done something like that, it would have taken me 10 minutes to show you versus the hours it took my to do the work itself. :lol:

Yeah, I don't think the pay would be better then my current job and I am not making a respectful amount as an ITC here lol. Sounds like you need an intern and some training materials more then another IT guy.

[LordAlmighty]

Hey I was wondering if you are still looking for a PC tech. If so I could send you my resume, (and pics of my 08' impreza ) lol. I am an IT major , and I will have my associates degree in the fall. Im looking for any possible internships that could turn into a career. Im currently a supervisor at UPS. Take it easy

[jessickascarling]

this sounds like a really good opportunity for someone who is looking to break into the field... just the fact you're looking for someone who may not have a lot of experience but is willing to learn is really uncommon... i think it's excellent because how can you get a job if you don't have experience? sometimes, even with a degree.

good luck with your search :)

[Julex]

Definitely a good opportunity, I would totally jump on this, but I don't know if it would make up for how much I make now.

It's VERY hard to get into the computer industry, even with a solid skill set and a degree. I was there myself, and that's why I feel it's important to give people the chance to do what they like. I've found the best IT workers are computer geeks in life, and love the challenge of learning things while you're doing them. The desire to learn new things is what makes people move up in IT versus living their life in a cubicle.

Ain't that the truth, lol :lol:

[cman7]

PM sent. I'll apologize in advance for being so short about it. I'm working on multiple research papers at the moment.

But I'd like some more details. :)

+1... it IS hard especially with all the competition out there now-a-days. If more people had this philosophy, I think more people would be happier at their jobs.

I used to really like the electro-mechanical tech jobs I had a few years back. it just came so easy. just had a string of grumpy supervisors and vendictive managers and it turned me off to the whole thing.. I always wanted to be more capable with a computer.. but theres just some things I'll leave to other folks :lol: you can write c++?! well I can.. um... stuff!!!
