You mean last week's project: Continued?

@dafyre Yup.

Not sure this guy is cut out for IT.

@scottalanmiller Probably as cut out as anyone at Level 0. He needs to understand that you can acquire skills without actually having a job in IT. The greater problem though (as you pointed out), he doesn't seem to know what he wants to do. I can empathize as "what I want to do" has evolved since I career changed into IT.

No certs, no education (in IT), no experience, no posting on IT social media, no home lab, lots of time wasted on things that show he's not researched properly before jumping in, literally less than we use to choose high school kids!
-
@scottalanmiller Level 0 rather than Level 1, where most of use start.

It's not very good and he's not learning from the thread.

I think Scott is a very misunderstood guy on SW or maybe in general

No, he's not ready for an L0. He has NOTHING to show right now. Not a thing. That's a big problem.

Sounds like a coworker of mine. No ambition in IT, texts his wife all day long, doesn't even close out tickets on the helpdesk. The only reason why he's here is that he's buddies with my boss.

Well, given that they are happy to keep him, seems like it would be silly for him to work harder, right?

Definitely on SW.
It takes folks a while to get used to you and realize that you're not personally attacking them.
