In this video, we will cover skills and products that you can quickly add to your resume or gain confidence for Junior IT Admin or IT Support roles. We are utilizing a rented JSS server to ensure full access to the internet and prevent the lab from resetting for 24 hours, purchased for a one-day period. You can also implement the same skills and products if you have your own machines with a minimum of 16 GB RAM and at least 8 vCPUs
