Why You Should Never Give Up One of my favorite quotes from the great Winston Churchill ends with the words, “Never yield to force; never yield to the overwhelming might of the enemy.” This quote, describes James Weidner…and you’ll see exactly why. In 2007, James lost his job as a Database Analyst. He had been doing that position for almost 15 years, working mostly on federal contracts. He spent the next few years working jobs he really didn’t like, but did because he had a family to provide for. He refused to give up. He heard the MyComputerCareer radio commercials every day and thought about making the call, but didn’t. He made every effort to get back into a Database Analyst job, with no luck. He finally made the call for an evaluation and enrolled thinking it would be his final shot at an I.T. career. He knew it wouldn’t be easy…but he refused to give up. Click to read more of this story!

Frustrated in Your Job Search? Understanding the process and applying specific methods is directly related to your success. In the day and age of HRIS (Human Resource Information Systems), ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems), Assessment Tests, and Personality Tests, searching and applying for jobs can be time consuming and frustrating. After over a decade in the industry and watching individuals struggle with these processes, it dawned on me that my purpose in life was to help them succeed within all the new technology. It used to be that you could send out 100 applications with the click of a button. From these efforts, you could usually net 2 or 3 interviews. However, things have changed and so should our methods.

US Army Veteran and I.T. Professional LUCKNER PETITHOMME: MYCOMPUTERCAREER DALLAS STUDENT “Before attending classes at MyComputerCareer, I was serving in the U.S. Army as a Sergeant for 4 years. I heard about MyComputerCareer while conducting my research on technical certification schools. I heard the commercials on the radio several times, however, I thought the program was too good to be true.
