Hey /g/ I need some help My job needs me to learn well... /g/

>/g/ stuff
how about you fucking specify? and if you can't you deserve to lose your job so someone more qualified can get it

>>60336516
Literally anything
What's a good language to start learning programming, what's a good OS to learn how to use and mess with,
I just don't know what to ask honestly...

I'm telling you, a push in the right direction for anything would be helpful

>>60336600
>1st language
freecodecamp.com or codeacademy.com they're shit but it's a place to start
>OS
unless you live under a rock, you understand Windoze at least. So get babby loonix (ubuntu) and start fucking around

>>60336643
Awesome, anything else I should start messing around with?

>>60336413
Lol fuck you I hope you get fired. You obviously have no real desire to learn or you would have done it by now. Go save everyone some time and quit your job and find something you enjoy enough to give a fuck about it.

>>60336665
Excuse a guy for wanting to keep his job, I'm not asking you to teach me, just tell me some things I should look at so I can learn it on my own

>>60336600
These are questions you should be asking your manager and more senior peers.

>>60336413
Do you know anything about partitioning and network configuration?

>>60336789

What /g/ stuff in particular? It ain't rocket science, but a good generalist has atleast 5 yrs experience with networks and systems.

Or do they just need you to do helpdesk, as in OS troubleshooting?

>>60336809
This is what they told me to do...
>>60336810
No, I assume I should look into how to do both of those.

>>60336829
More helpdesk-y type stuff like that, but networks and systems would be really good to learn, they've specifically asked me if I knew networking (which I don't clearly) but yeah

>>60336833
I presumed based on Citrix and you mentioning interfaces that you work with software for server arrays i.e. what Citrix makes.

It would help if you actually told us what your job title is and what exactly people have told you to learn...

>>60336865

take an online CCNA course. If you find it hard downgrade to network+.

>>60336833
They literally told you to come to /g/ and ask what to learn? Come on dude what did they say specifically?

>>60336882
I work at American helpdesk,
I'm overnight "supervisor"

And like I said in OP, I restart interfaces, fix missing drives on other computers, but mostly write trouble tickets
Problem is I'm probably the weakest link in the company and need to learn more stuff.

>>60336891
One of the guys told me to "just learn stuff, like I went on Google and just poked around with it all and that's how I learned, I need you to do something similar and get on our level"

>>60336885
I'll look into both

>>60336938

it sounds like the company has outgrown your skillset, and they likely will can you unless you show serious initiative to learn. take a class or something, self-learning is clearly not your learning style. unless you're under 20.

>>60336865
>>60336938

Subjects to cover with basic networking;

>The OSI layers.
>Configuration of interfaces and other network equipment.
>Whatever the software you're supposed to give support for does networking wise.
>Networking protocols.

The most important thing I think you should do is learn about the software you have to support,
Some of the stuff i mentioned may be irrelevant to specifically what you're doing after all

>>60336991

this.

also, the job description OP listed is pretty ripe for automation

>>60336978
It really has, and they will unless I do learn this stuff, and I have too, I just turned 22

>>60336991
Awesome thanks, I'll look into all of these
>>60336999
It's supposed to be everyone independent and not heavily relying on others whereas
