So I am really looking for advice from people with an IT background. I have been working as a 'Shop computer technician' for 5 years, started from not knowing how to build a computer to pretty much going into 'manual mode'.
The company I work for is pretty small (so small I have to rely on myself to repair or diagnose any fault brought into us). Software and hardware, anything ranging from reloading an OS & installing antivirus to replacing motherboards and installing small scale networks.
I am about to lose the job which to be honest im not to bothered about as I wanted something a little more progressive in terms of job prospects.
One thing that stops me from getting a new job in IT is the idea of not knowing enough. I can navigate most operating systems, troubleshoot faults and pretty handy with a soldering iron but still I doubt my own ability. I would love to work with networks; or a large scale company.
So what I am really asking is how did you learn what you needed to get into a higher position with responsibility?
