I am a Business Management graduate who recently applied for any position in a Company. The company was looking for a Computer Course Graduate. Aside from the Accounting Subjects, I indicated in my Resume that I have background in Web Designing, Php and knows how to Repair/Troubleshooting of Computers. During the interview, I honestly told them that I have no certification what so ever to prove that I can do basic computer repair because I only learned these things via google and self studying. Instead, I politely asked them to give me a chance to prove myself.
The company hired me as a Jr. Systems Admin.

I do that too, present myself, my potential, and of course my willingness to serve.
Sadly, I have not found not one company willing to give me that chance.
I go to agencies, govt offices, I feel I can do better than those encoders at DFA or NSO who often make mistakes in data entry. I can do great things if only given an opportunity, just someone believing in me.
