I got a job this week working for a web developer/e-commerce business. They needed a "college student" to finish a "quick IT/Networking" project. Basically, their IT guy quit, and left the place a mess.

I have already completed wiring the network throughout the building, and everyone is up and running. They have asked me to organize some of the hardware and software, as it was previously a mess.

Currently, it seems, I am employed project to project, I would like to stay on with this company but I am primarily a web-designer, does anyone know of any techniques, or have any advice on how I make the transition from, the guy sorting through boxes in the corner to a new designer?

I am sure I am slightly less qualified than their other designers (not totally familiar with Flash, etc), but are there any techniques I can use to sell the attributes I do have?

In this particular situation, I would try the following:

1. Ask around or ask your boss if there will be any permanent positions available soon.

2. Re-write your resmue to include this experience and ask someone for more information on how they got hired.

3. This is hard - but what do you have to lose? Ask your boss for quick 10 min meeting when he/she has time and then let them know that over the past (however long you've been there), you have really enjoyed working for the company and do they have any suggestions of a permanent position you would be qualified and should apply for, or if they have any advice on what you should do in order to further your chances of getting hired on permanently.

GOOD LUCK

it depends on what IT qualifications you have or are getting make sure to put a update resume with the company's HR department and be forward to the management of company of your interest as you already got a big perk you fixed the mess which shows you can at least do that
