Ok, I know that this is probably not the forum to ask, but I'll ask anyway. I have recently (by recent, I mean the end of last year) finshed a TAFE course relating to networking. In the states, that's roughly equivalent to your "Colleges". I have obtained a dual diploma, which, in the computer industry is like a kindergarden qualification. Anyway, I am in need of work and I don't know where to look. It seems that everyone I have looked at wants "This" degree or "That" many years of experience.
I do not have "real" experience, in terms of I don't know how to program, I don't know how to use any of these "fancy" software packages such as siebel (I have never even heard of it before), and I don't have any industry certifications such as CCNA or MCP. All I have is a diploma saying I know how to set up a basic network, and what I learned in the classroom. Does anyone know where I can go to get entry level work in IT? Keep in mind, I live in melbourne Australia. Thank you for your time.
