It's a competitive market out there, and there are a LOT, and I do mean a LOT of people out there who are out of work with more experience and more education than yourself. It's hard, I know. I spent a year out of school doing a horrible min-wage job before landing a tech job. My advice is to go back to college and continue your education. You will need at least a BS to get anywhere. The alternative is to fork over the money to test for Certifications. A+ and Network+ certs are almost a basic requirement for working in IT. If neither of these is an option, I have some other advice for you that can help you get your resume into the right hands. To start, your resume -must- catch the attention and keep the attention of HR in the first three seconds of viewing it. This requires some creative thinking and more work than most want to put up with. Analyze the job that you're applying for and cater your resume to that specific job. Change the order of things, put certain keywords in BOLD or UNDERLINED type. If your resume isn't immediately trashed, you've made it through the first gate. Secondly, you need a cover letter. This is your chance to describe why you are a fit for the job. Be specific and use keywords directly from the job posting. You'll have to write a new coverletter for every job you apply for. Lastly, wait two or three days after applying and call the contact person that was listed in the job posting. Inquire about your resume's status. You never know. They could have misplaced your resume, set it aside with intention to go back it and forgotten, or they may be waiting to see if you'll call to show that you really care. I think most importantly though, remain vigilant. Don't give up. Giving up is too easy. If you take to job hunting with a tenacity that could kill a werewolf, that job will be yours before you know it. Your problem is that you have an Associates Degree.
