Hello fellow My Lotters! I don't know if this is an appropriate discussion but I thought I would try, I'm really desperate! Here's my situation. I have been studying IT for the past three years and I have gained the following IT certifications: A+ Certified IT Technician, Network + Certified Professional and MCP or Microsoft Certified Professional. Here's my problem. I have a whole lot of theory and very little in the way of actual work experience. I have been thinking about the idea of helping others with their computers. I have decided that I'm not going to charge anything! If you are in the local area to me, that's to say, Enfield then I would love to be given the chance to offer free technical support and advice and this would also help me in terms of gaining actual practical experience. You know how expensive technician's fees can be these days well I'm offering this service for free. I need to build up a work record of practical experience so this is where my thinking is going. Also, for those already employed within the IT sector, I would be grateful for any advice you can give. I would also be willing to do voluntary work in order to gain experience in the field. Sorry, I know that this is very forward and direct but I don't know what else to do. They say that nothing is impossible, I'm really trying to test this theory. I know that there is a trust element but I have been on My Lot for a long time now and well, like I said, I am qualified now, I just want to put all that theory to practise, you can't blame a guy for trying! Anyway, I would appreciate your thoughts on this and sorry that it's so forward and direct. Many thanks. Andrew
