Recently, I finished my studding as IT professional. I immediately got a job as computer administrator in a rather big company. It sounds great but now I have one problem. I do not have almost any practical knowledge. From time to time, I come on some problem that I do not know how to solve. I do not want to ask other colleagues. For instance, why I can't boot up laptop after BSOD crash? Can I get some advice about that subject? I would appreciate any help.

First thing you should do is to keep your nerves and stay cool. You are in the same position as almost every other freshman in any branch when they get their first job. You have to understand that, when a company employs some freshmen without any further experiences, they do not expect him to know everything. If they want somebody with a strong experience level, they would probably hire some veteran. If they decide to hire you that is because they hope that you have enough knowledge to be a fast learner. You should not hesitate to ask your colleagues for help because they expect you to do that. Even more, your supervisor can punish you for not doing that. Do not worry, you will get enough practice soon enough. Anyway, let us get back to your question about why you can't boot up laptop after BSOD crash. I think that you should contact some professional about that.

I also think that you should not panic because working is the only way for getting real practice. So, try to keep up with your daily duties and I am sure that you will get experience very quickly. However, I have to disagree with colleague about asking other colleagues for help unless you know some of them privately. If your supervisor did not specifically told you which one of them is assigned to help you whenever you need some help, I would avoid begging for help as much as I can do. You have to understand that older colleagues see every newcomer as a potential threat to their jobs, and they are not so willing to help you. In addition, they have enough their job and not so much time for charity work. I think that you choose right way for asking answers on Internet forums. If you cannot find answers on Internet or in the books, then try to ask a most friendly colleague. From your question about why you can't boot up laptop after BSOD crash, I see that you are a 'newbie'. I partially agree with our colleague. You can ask for professional help. However, I think that you should first try to solve that problem by yourself. BSOD means that something is wrong in your OS. That is why you cannot start your computer know. You should find out what is wrong.

I think that you should gather as much confidence as you can and dig in computer literature. In addition, there is nothing wrong in asking others help. However, nobody likes colleagues that interrupt him or her all the time. They have their regular job to do, you know. Because of that, you should really try to dig in answers for your problems on the Internet before you ask help from your colleagues. Internet is a real treasure for all kind of information. That way your colleagues would see that you care about your job and that you are really trying to learn as much as you can. If you cannot find that information on Internet, try to ask some friends or try to find it in libraries. I am sure that, for your question about why you can't boot up laptop after BSOD crash, you can find all the necessary information on the Internet. Anyway, I would like to add some more information about this subject. You could try to restore your system on some previous Restore point if you can enter Safe mode.
