Looking to start a career in IT...

[Ib Contessa]

I am looking for someone who is willing to give a guy with no previous experience in the IT field a chance at starting a new career. I have been involved in a number of different jobs throughout my life, acquired a lot of transferable skills, but don't know how to go about making a complete career change. I am 36 years old, highly trainable, have a true passion for learning and ready to go! I have a B.S. in Computer Science / Information Technology, but have no real world, hands on IT experience. Where should I start? I have applied for about one hundred jobs in the last month, some requiring Bachelors degree's in my field and some requiring only Associates, and have had no hits at all. I am assuming this is because I have no previous experience. Any help, ideas, job offers and or recommendations will be taken seriously. Thank you for your time and consideration in reading this.

Sincerely,

Ib Contessa
