I hv 2 years of IT support experience, supporting the company like hell. Networking, switch programming, hardware, software installing, troubleshooting, dealing with difficult users.... And then I come to this factory interview for IT Support, it freaking say IT Support in the ads and it didn't mention any programming requirement.

"But you do not have programming experience, we will consider you as fresh graduates. Your expected salary is too high."

This is how they treating IT workers?? aka IT slaves. NO WAY.

They ARE looking for IT support, but they press your price with your lack of programming experience... lame but, well, what to do.

It seem like they are not even confortable with my current salary.

The supervisor asked do I know about SDLC, but didnt specify any programming language specifically. And then he keep pressing the issue about my lack of programming experience, I dont even know where to start to bluff about my programming skill. SDLC... what is that? It is just a cycle of procedures right? Just like wat I learned from books last time.

And then I will be the front line support to all the hardware, windows, which is peanut matters to me as my current company has a even much larger user groups to support.

The fact is that, yeah, I understand that its their job, keep pressing your value based on your weakness.

Yes I agree. And as usual, everybody is always out for hunting. Heck, when I do pc support, I can find a "resume" folder in almost every computer...

Heh, maybe this is only because not many people willing to travel to such "ulu" place to work so they hv to interview me. Most people in Klang Valley look for jobs in KL or anywhere near LRT.
