Erich Munsch is current student who has already landed a job in the IT industry. He discusses his experience with PC ProSchools and what it’s like to work as an IT Professional.
Before PC Pro, I worked at Member Services at an athletic community center in Shoreview, MN. After graduating from local state university in May 2010, I became frustrated with the lack of jobs available within my field. It seemed that many of the jobs listed within my searches dealt with computer which sparked in interest in the IT field. Coincidentally, I overheard an advertisement for PC Pro Schools on the radio.

Currently, I am employed as the Assistant IT at a supply company in Minneapolis, MN. At my current position, I am still in training. I am responsible for learning the administrative aspects of the company’s new database which will go live in October 2011. I have configured 8 computers to be used for training the company’s employees for the new database. In addition, I am responsible for responding to employees’ computer problems and issues. I am in charge of administrating Windows updates to all computers within the office.
At work, I love the atmosphere of my office and my co-workers. I’m impressed with the climate of the office and my work experience. I also find it exciting that each day is unique. I am constantly given new tasks which keep me interested in learning more at PC Pro Schools.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of the PC Pro program was that most of the coursework was done online. I had the flexibility to study on my own schedule. I also appreciated the option of rewinding the online videos if I was unsure of a topic or if I wanted to readdress information.
The accelerated program was especially appealing to me after graduating from a traditional university. I thought the certifications offered through PC Pro would be beneficial because they focused directly on the information and skills needed to be successful in the computer career world.
I favored PC Pro’s program over other schools because of their accelerated program. Knowing that I could finish the program in under a year helped me stay focused on my homework and dedicated to my learning. I also loved the idea of having new career options with favorable advancement opportunities, especially after previously disappointing job searches.
PC Pro is a great school for those with a good work ethic and a “ready-to-learn” mindset. I found the program beneficial for me, however if one is not committed to learning, their experience may differ from mine.
The blended learning program made it convenient to receive information both through online videos in addition to having the opportunity to apply the knowledge to in-class labs. This process seemed to reassure me of how well I understood the lessons.
Even though I am still completing the PC Pro course, I do have a new job within the IT field. I feel more confident in my future and I am looking forward to advancing within the industry.
Thank you PC Pro Schools!
