Hi @DavidZepeda,

You’re already on the right track; your ITSM basics are strong; you just need to focus on scripting now. ITSM alone isn’t enough; you don’t need HRSD yet, but you must get comfortable with business rules, client scripts, and GlideRecord since that’s what interviews expect. Use your 2 hours daily for 1 hour of learning + 1 hour of hands-on practice on PDI. Focus on real use cases instead of theory. Regarding the 90-day notice, be honest and mention early release/buyout options; many companies still consider it. Stay consistent for a few weeks and you’ll see a big improvement.
