Hi Everyone,
First let me give you a bit of insight on my career and studies. So i completed my diploma in advanced computer science level 5-7 in 2015. After that i had been on full time job search, now this is where the struggle started I used to apply for entry level roles and roles which seemed realistic and unrealistic as well. I got in to slingshot for a interview so i had 3 rounds here and also my visa was left for around 6 months when i applied for the job. So all the interviews and everything took place and i was told that they find me a good candidate and they would be more than happy to hire me but i need to have at-least 6 months left on my visa :(
So i tried to convince them by saying when i got in the interview i had more than 6 months since i was new to applying jobs and everything i thought that this process might be slow as they are gonna hire me as full time so it took more than 1 month from my first interview that was having email conversations with slingshot about my application now after all of that i could not get in as my visa was not for 6 months. I do not understand if this was my mistake or slingshot or just my fate was not with me.
So after my job search visa expired i have now been studying For Bachelors in Computing System from Unitec Mt Albert. Now the study that i am currently doing and my previous studies have given me sound knowledge about basic computing, networking, hardware , software, SQL database, Python programming, Project Planning.
Right now i am in need of a job which will help me gain some experience within the computing environment, I will be more than happy to work for free as a Intern as my main concern is to get that on job experience so that i dont have to go through the same situation when i applied for jobs and simply got rejected by saying I dont have enough experience or any at all.
Question-How will i have experience on the first place if no one allows me to start?
Anyone who is reading this post please help me out if you are working at a place like Slingshot,Chorus,Flip,2 Degrees,Vodafone,Spark,IInet,Concentri and any companies that are dealing with routers and computer. So that i can join your firm and start to get some experience in my field.
I do have a lot of customer service experience and i am confident person.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
JUST NEED TO GET TO START WORKING AND GAINING SOME EXPERIENCE.
