RHODE ISLAND, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 24, 2023 / Operating out of Rhode Island, New York, Elijah Cady is a technical support specialist and owner of 13 Stars Hot Sauce. Having started his career in the tech space, Elijah did not take the traditional route to success and instead looked for opportunities in a professional capacity. Opposed to the idea of a four-year college program and starting his career in debt, Elijah joined the military and accepted a position in IT. Since then, he has worked for various organizations, including, Netsimco at the Naval War College in Newport and Sunrun.
Over the course of a recent interview, Elijah provides advice for anyone interested in pursuing a career in the tech industry. He argues that knowledge and experience outweigh the time and money spent on a post-secondary degree. "Keep in mind that everybody else has gone through different experiences so take the time to learn from everybody you possibly can, no matter what level they are at. Take the time to listen and keep an open mind especially when it comes to troubleshooting."
Elijah says that one of the best ways to learn is by purchasing cheap equipment and trying your best to get as much real-world experience as possible. As a support specialist, Elijah understands the challenges many individuals face, when navigating the business world. When faced with obstacles, Elijah recommends stepping back from the task at hand.
"The best piece of advice that I've ever gotten is when you're stressed or not seeing 100% clearly, just take five minutes and re-direct your attention elsewhere. Take your mind off of the subject. And in most cases, that will help you either take a step in the right direction towards solving your problem, or it will bring you back to center, emotionally and mentally. A five-minute mental break can make a significant difference."
Elijah's long-term goal is to remain determined. By always putting his best foot forward, he states that the worst one can do is remain stagnant. "I think that it's important to always keep learning and moving forward."
