ITIL is a highly regarded certification within the IT Industry and is requested quite frequently when going for more senior roles. It basically shows your understanding of the standards expected when it comes to service management governance and is the standard basically used across IT as a...

Fasthosts have 24x7 phone support as well as live chat (not 24x7) and email support. Servers are self managed though so you need to know what you're doing generally. For actual server hardware/network issues though, someone is always available. If you want help with installation of software...

Depends on what you like to do - and what the role involves really. I hate management stuff that comes with some supervisory roles because it detracts more and more away from doing tech. I used to open up my linux VM and be working on it from almost the moment I got into work before, and use...

Drop me a PM with your email. I have one.

Hitler was an amazing public speaker too.....you can learn a lot from watching his speeches. Just ignore his ideology, that wasn't good!

Unfortunately not. Its largely office based with only specific shifts WFH, so you'd probably be expected to be in the office around 70-80% of your time.

Nah never had my own business. On another note - Anyone want a job and lives in the Gloucester area: https://careers.fasthosts.co.uk/jobs/2333680-technical-support-advisor Send me your CV before applying, and i'll bump you up the list.

20% of what the dude says is dumb, like really dumb 80% of what he says actually makes some kind of sense But that 20% outweighs his 80% and portrays him as an absolute dick. But he drives a Bugatti.........so is that worth more than his 20% dickness? Maybe.

PM me your CV - I'll give my honest opinion on what i'd do with it if it came across my desk :D

Didn't see this until now. I started in 1st line with 0 qualifications in IT. I came from working in retail. I actually hated 1st line because of having to deal with customers constantly who had no clue, or were adamant that they were right (when they weren't). It's all part and parcel of...

If that's been fixed, it's only been in the past couple of months, I renewed in about June/July.

I didn't think anyone with an xbox wouldn't have gamepass :D I actually paid less than £100 for 3 years worth of gamepass. Make sure you don't have gamepass (so if you currently have you need to wait for it to expire) Buy 3 years worth of xbox live (you can't stack longer than that) I think i...

RE: The new MS certs, they're a joke! They're valid for 12 months and you have to retake them :D Honestly, Azure I don't have any knowledge of, everything I look after is on premise. As myself and a few others who actively recruit people have said, having certification doesn't matter. It...

Sadly they actually can. Apparently smoking isn't deemed one of those things that are "protected". Infact if you claim to be a non smoker and the company discovers you're a smoker, they can infact dismiss you for it! Religion is protected against discrimination, that's why Christian...

Make sure you ask for feedback. Companies are required to give it you and you can use that to help you in the future.
