If you are not certified, try to get a Six Sigma Black Belt or Master Black Belt Certification, an APICS CPIM or the new CSCP (Certified Supply Chain Specialist) and become an ISO Registrar.  It will take some time.  Use your own funds so no company has inherent rights over your future.  With all of those credentials, and your experience, you may go into consulting.  This way you will be in control of where, when and even if you want to work.  You may want start to publish about Operations and Materials Management applied to every day life (i.e.  Lean manufacturing principles in the kitchen) which will give you exposure and credibility.  You may also join the armed forces reserves like I did.

If you're wanting to become an technician and deal with hardware, you may not need qualfications. I know several people who have become IT support members without. \n\nYou will need some prior knowledge though. You will need to be able to do more than changing a GFX card say. You will likely need knowlege of all aspects. \n\nYou can gain knowledge by browsing the internet. After all, the net is filled with computer garb.\n\nIf you can afford to do so, or are currently claiming unemployment benefit, you can ask companies near you for 'unpaid' experience. This is how I got into the games industry. Although I have a Master's degree in computing I struggled to find work. Working for free for a few weeks you can gain lots of knowledge, a bit of experience and a great reference from your employer. \n\nMost folks have training in IT now but no experience. I was in that category for sometime. You need to give yourself an edge. \n\nYou may think 'I'm not working for f**king free!!', but it may just lead to something. It happened to me and others I know.\n\nHope this helps and good luck. :-D

I think you have to be certified to give it. When I took the course my employer contracted someone to come in and give the course.

Considering the recent controversy over how they selected contractors without a bid process, you may not be able to do so.  But, you can follow the guidelines set forth on fema.org to increase your chances of being "arbitrarily chosen" as a contractor.\n\nhttp://www.fema.gov/business/market.shtm

If you don't even know if you'll need a footer, I'd recommend passing this one up. You're looking at a lot of liability, not to mention possibly running afoul of contractor laws if you're unlicensed to perform the work.

Well, Im a painting contractor.  I am licensed.  It does matter what kind of license you get.  You dont need a permit, but you need a license.  I am a master at booking work.  I learned soo fast.  But, you know what?  My license helped me when my business was crippled.  I was involved in a motorcycle accident and I couldnt do much.  Then, I quickly got my license and I started getting work.  You have to fill out for a "Home Improvement" License.  Dont get the ones that say that you are a painter.  Its like a certificate that shows that you know how to paint.  Those come from city hall, and costs like 5 buxx.  You need to pay like 200-300 depending on the size of your company.  Email me for the rest because it will help you with work.  I dont want to disclose important secrets on here.  Fudope_7@yahoo.com.  Just rate me a perfect 5 stars before you email me....

Any time you want to start; be sure you know the local licensing requirements. Then be sure to contact your agent about Bonding and Liabilty insurance. Find some partners unless your extremely proficient in your choosen area. Start small and don't over extend unless you have 100 / 200K$ to float around for parts and labor. Best advice is to go slow and pass alot of bussiness cards around. Your reputation is your best salesman. I know I have my own electrical bussiness and have decided to keep it small after alot of suffering and nights of worrying.

It's not hard.  Call a couple of the companies in your area and ask if they are interested in an apprentice.  Try the local union in your area, they offer apprenticeships.  I started at a concrete company driving their trucks and poured concrete on the side.

Generally speaking, you have to have a contractor's license because you are going to be selling a service. It's fairly lengthy, but, last I checked, it was open book. It's best to check with Virginia's licensing information through the county you live in. Also, if you're trying to do work in the tri state area, like MD, VA and DC- you might want to "partner up" with some other subs so you can work under each other's umbrella of licenses and insurances.
