I find it hard to beleive anyone ever gets hired for these positions. I have many years of general IT experience, technical support supervisor experience, even law enforcement experience that has allowed me to handle difficult tasks under intense pressure without issue. I'm currently pursuing my BS of IT that will go into a MS of IT Management.
I've applied to probably twenty listings for these roles over the last year or two, and ALWAYS get the "Met Minimum Qualifications" email, and nothing else.
Earlier this year, I got an email from one of their IT supervisors for a role at the Workers Compensation Commission asking some prelimenary questions - I answered them all and felt really good about my answers, only to be ghosted and never receive a response even after following up to ensure my email was delivered properly.
Does anyone know how I could get in better contact with an actual person to discuss these roles, or is it strictly just a lottery system and you have to be super lucky? In terms of experience and qualifications, I typically exceed what they are looking for. The only things I don't fully meet qualifications for at this moment are for IT Administrator / System Administrator since I haven't had much opportunity to work with enterprise equipment, server farms, etc.
I'd love to know how to finally break into one of these roles. Someone told me you just have to use their buzz-words, but I don't know. Any insight would be appreciated.
