Work experience for college, (This must be my first topic here :P) Options

Ok, i'm doing a course in college, Microsoft Office Specialist Programme. Anyway, obviously we are doing Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint.

So, i'll be finished the course on June 9th, and I have found a place willing to hire me (Are they mad?) recently.

I was talking to the owner one night, and he's kind of an absentee owner. He has a manager to run the place, but he only has it open as a hobby, and I guess a quick buck on the side. So I was telling him about the course i'm doing.

He told me he'd have the perfect job, and to ring the manager who'd show me the ropes. Fair enough. I was told to wait a week and ring the guy. So I did that. Yesterday.

Thing is... On the phone, he was saying about "Network Maintenance" and i'm not really sure what the heck he will want me to do.

It'll be a place for LAN gaming and internet access, so seems like it'll be a place I wouldn't mind working if I can keep it after the 4 weeks.

But my problem is the network maintenance bit.

Since you are gona be the new guy they wont throw you in the deep end straight away. Theyl prob. show you the basics of a lan and let you handel small things like not seeing a hosted game on the lan or word docs that wont print.

My geus is that you'l mainly will help people that work on excel and power point becuase you have studyd it, and face it, excel can get very, very coplicated at times.
Way more complicated than any network problem I've faced.
