Looking for support work

Hey guys,

I am looking for (remote) support work.

I am familiar with vmware workstation, very basic linux stuff, and somewhat advanced windows stuff. Other then that, I could be classified as a noob. But I am very willing and eager to learn and very interested in this industry!

My work history includes a decade of sales and customer service at retail AT&T wireless, Apple, and Comcast.

My education includes a bachelor degree in a field with no relevance to this industry.

Give me a shot and you won't regret it!

Thank you!

    I was referred here from an IRC channel on freenode.

    • You haven't even posted a resume or a curriculum vitae which describes yours specific skills

    I would gladly send my resume to any interested party, but I didn't think it was wise to post on a open forum.?

    • You likely live aboard to your employer.

    I reside in Chicago, IL.

    • Taxes?

    • Healthcare?

    • Insurance?

    Not sure what is being asked here exactly.

    • Legality (and your own legal status.. are you 18+?)

    Age: 31, legal.

    • how are you gonna be paid?

    I can be paid however you want to pay me. I imagine the legitate method is via contractor or employee status?

    • In what currency?

    In USD

    • how much and based on which country's union suggestions?

    Whatever you think is appropriate for an individual of my situation.

    If your gonna say "Via paypal friends and family plz" try hackforums.net, Last time I checked the crooks there don't really care.

    Thanks

  • Dear god..

    Seeing employment via an IRC channel? That was dangerous 20 years ago. I don't know you, or your abilities- but good luck!

    My ultimate goal is to set up my own vps reselling business.

    I was on freenode asking questions about WHMCS/Proxmox/OVH etc... and got advised to spend some time in the industry before pulling that trigger.

    I agreed, and so now I am here.

    lol thanks!

    It's too bad that summer is ~5 months away for me :(

  • Fair enough, being open minded is the key here.. but if you have nothing to offer, nobody is gonna bite and ask for the CV. You literally ask for a paid remote work but the info you have given out is absolute minimal.

    I know a 13 year old boy that can list the same skills and more. Disregarding the fact that you haven't given out any specific area of talent (i.e. networks, graphics, sales, coding), the only relevant info that may interest people to ask for your resume would be the fact you have previous work experience in the companies listed above.

    You gotta give us more or nobody will even ask for that CV. To me your "application" looks pretty lazy made.

  • I can let you do my laundry for $5/month.

  • I'm confused here with the comments, op was asking a legitimate question, at least he's not sat on his ass and he's actively seeking employment, fair play to you mate.

    I guess I'll emphasize here that I'd be willing to accept low low wages...

  • Then you should fare well in TV/VCR repair..

    @yacht979797 I suggest instead of wasting your time with folks who dont give a fuck about anything here, go try DigitalOcean they're recruiting and have handsome packages and perks trust me its WAY better for you to try at legitimate companies than beating around the bush in a forum

  • I have messaged you as I need some personal work doing on windows that if I'm honest I'm to lazy to do.

    I'm not sure how many legit companies are going to hire someone with very limited experience with linux systems (self proclaimed noob). You want someone to give you a job to learn so you can start your own business that will be in direct competition? Many companies have non-compete agreements. Why would a company want to hire you knowing eventually you're going to leave to start a new company is an already overcrowded and competitive market?

    You would probably be better off setting up a EC2 dev environment on AWS first and learn how to use the various relevant tools and software used. Then you can consider if this is an industry you think you could be successful in on your own or you could resume seeking employment with an already established company.
