To start today, I would like to thank you for being part of the Train Signal community. I’ve got some great news for everyone. We have officially launched the new Train Signal Forums!

Speaking of certification info I’ve got an exclusive for you. I recently had the pleasure of sitting in on a meeting with a couple of members of the CompTIA Security+ 2008 Marketing and Development Teams.

Expert Advice on How to Get the IT Job You Want

You can Google the topic of resume writing and interviewing to death.

There is a lot of good information out there, but what really works? What’s the most important thing on your resume? Is your experience more valuable than your education? How can you improve your chances of getting an interview and the job you want?

These important questions are not easy to answer. I wanted to find out what someone with real IT recruiting experience has to say on this subject so I decided to interview an expert to find out.

Geoffrey Decker is one of my teachers at Northern Illinois University. He always has excellent advice to give his class about interviewing for a job, and how to survive in the real IT world. He’s also great at providing lots of useful examples from his previous job in IT human resources.

Here are the questions that I thought would best be answered by a real IT hiring pro. Check out what Geoffrey has to say… his answers are very interesting and very insightful.

IT Job Interview Tips: Know Your IT Terminology

To help you with your job interview preparation, check out this quick IT terminology cheat-sheet.

The terms that are listed here are just your basic networking terminology, but they frequently come up during your typical interview with a prospective employer. That’s why it’s important that you know them backwards and forwards — and that you’re able to explain them well, even when you’re under pressure.

So if you’re applying for a position within the IT field — whether it’s an entry level job, a help desk position, or even a junior administrator or network administrator position — you should have a good knowledge of these terms and their definitions.

After all, you don’t want to blow your chances at a great job just because you forgot your basic networking terms.
