🧑‍💻 The Helpdesk Speedrun — How to Land Your First IT Job in 90 Days (Guaranteed)

You don’t need a degree.
You don’t need a certification.
You just need a system — and 90 days of execution.

That’s what the BowTied Helpdesk Speedrun is: a proven, step-by-step roadmap to land your first IT job fast, with hands-on labs, a professional portfolio, and built-in AI tools to speed up your job hunt.

And yes — it’s guaranteed (see T&C at link below)

If you follow the system and don’t get hired, you get your money back.
Let’s break down exactly how it works 👇

⚙️ Step-by-Step: How to Get a Job in 90 Days

1. Build an Active Directory Server

Set up your own Windows Server lab and configure Active Directory — the backbone of enterprise IT.
You’ll learn user management, password resets, group policy, and all the day-to-day tasks that get you hired on a helpdesk team.

This single project separates applicants who “studied A+” from those who can actually do the work.

---

2. Create Your IT Portfolio (in Notion)

Use the BowTiedCyber portfolio template to showcase your hands-on projects.
Each section mirrors real helpdesk scenarios employers care about:

• 🔐 Password Reset + Account Lockout Lab

• 👥 Active Directory: Create a User + Security Group

• 🧾 Ticket Journal: 5-Day Sprint

Upload screenshots, event logs, and short write-ups. When you apply, link your Notion page.
Your portfolio becomes your interview cheat code.

---

3. Make a Plain-Text Résumé

Use plaintextresume.com to generate a clean, ATS-friendly résumé that beats filters and bots.
Keep it simple. Focus on your projects and skills, not certifications you don’t have yet.

---

4. Write Custom Cover Letters (or Use Our AI)

We built a custom AI Helpdesk Recruiter that generates tailored cover letters for every job you apply to (only available in the BowTied Helpdesk Speedrun).

You can also do it manually — just keep each letter personal, short, and focused on your helpdesk portfolio.

---

5. Apply to Jobs (and Track Everything)

Send at least 20 applications per week.
Log them in a spreadsheet or Notion tracker.
Follow up after 5–7 days. Consistency is the hidden variable most people skip.

---

6. Get the Callbacks

Once your résumé and portfolio are live, callbacks start to come in fast.
You’ll be ready — because the Speedrun also trains you on:

• Common helpdesk interview questions

• Real-world troubleshooting scenarios

• Behavioral question coaching

• Salary negotiation basics

---

7. Interview → Iterate → Repeat

Not every interview will hit. That’s normal.
Each one makes you sharper, faster, and more confident.
Repeat steps 4–6 until you land your first offer.
