Breaking Into IT With No Experience (and I Stutter) What Roles Can I Do? I’m trying to break into IT and could use some advice. I have a Diploma of IT but no real industry experience yet, and I also stutter, so phone-heavy help desk roles aren’t a good fit for me. I’m wondering what other paths I can take that don’t rely on constant verbal communication. Are there entry-level roles like deployment technician, field tech assistant, junior sysadmin trainee, NOC monitoring, or desktop support that don’t involve much phone work? Should I study anything extra or do a short bootcamp to build more hands-on skills? I’m open to cloud, networking, or cyber bootcamps if they actually help with job chances. Any guidance or personal experiences would be really appreciated.
