[QUOTE="whiskeyagogo, post: 643969, member: 12350"] Random covered the difference between IS & TSG very well. As for picking one over the other, it depends on what you want. IMHO a TSG job would prepare you to do basic PC support - swapping drives, rebuilding machines. An IS job would get you more into the supporting of a specific UPS application set, the network, etc. Hoax's advice on not waiting is also sound - you could do a year of TSG work and then pick/choose the best IS opening. Right now there isn't a lot (any?) to choose from for either TSG/IS. When I said shift work, I meant they work 24x7, so someone works overnight, early AM, mid-day, evenings, weekends, holidays, etc. You get time and a half for the holidays but no other special compensation for the overnight/weekend work. There is a helpdesk in Morristown that handles '2nd level' support calls that might be a good fit. There are also 24x7 groups in Mahwah that might be a good entry level fit. There are rumors of all these desks being shuttered and outsourced to Las Vegas or overseas but the rumors have been around for years. [/QUOTE]
