Hi everyone
I been on this forums for a while and everybody rocks :toast:
I am at a stage in my life where I need a job\career or what ever, I like computers like every one else on this forums and I am asking you guys for advice in getting a job in IT in Australia Sydney.

I been unemployed for about 4 months and I've applied for way over a thousand jobs by now and I am getting to the stage where I am almost broke (been living on my savings =/), I don't have excellent communication skills so its hard to get a job in any industry. I think my best skills lie in fixing computers =/ and finding problems etc. I can OC Amd and set up networks. A lot of my friends rely on me when they cant fix their own computers and yeah... I don't think i am as nearly as good as some of you people here, because i learned heaps from you guys.

I also came across a competition for a $14000 scholarship and i was hoping you guys could just give me some basic pointers to this question so i can base it around.

In 100 Words or less, describe why you should be awarded the $14,000 IT scholarship

Any advice\opinions are welcome, But PLEASE dont tell me to go get a job in a warehouse where i push boxes.... like i cant do that =/

No advice that can really be given, the question is specifically geared to the individual and making them think what makes them deserve it. However I can tell you this, if you want to get into IT its no good just doing it for the sake of it, you have to want to do it because you have a passion for it.
