Welcome to my self-paced IT Bootcamp, where I'm sharpening my skills to land a role in IT Support or Help Desk. The aim is to document my hands-on learning of the fundamentals and beyond of IT to get me job-ready as quickly as possible. I've already got my CompTIA Security+ and CompTIA A+ (core 1) certifications but now I want to get some experience with the tools and technologies I've learned about.
- Build confidence with IT fundamentals (hardware, OS, networking, security).
- Prepare for technical interviews and IT support tasks.
- Develop and document a portfolio of troubleshooting examples and small projects.
- Practice using GitHub and Markdown as part of my daily workflow.
