Basically, I can start learning those VMware, Cisco, Windows Server, skills after my first pay check.

I have to agree with you on that.Some of them are managers at large tech companies now, so it will be good to have their contact info for references.
Does anyone here know any recruiters who work in a big public recruiting firm, professionally or personally, in the New York City area? It would be very kind to share that information with me via a PM please.You've got a reasonable mix of people looking at your post, but again, people in functional, hiring manager positions are generally not going to take any actions off a LinkedIn post. You'll only get recruiters, and for someone with no experience, you'll likely get no recruiters to come to you.
If you're serious about finding a job, you have to do all the legwork. Job fairs, applying for positions, working with a recruiter, networking events. You're not going to post "Hey I want a job" and anyone going to take you seriously.

I saw more LinkedIn job postings that are too my liking in the locations of my interest, but I am still in the midst of fixing my resume.
My recommendation is not to use a big public recruiting firm. A big firm will have lots of potential hires in their talent pool, and you're going to go to the bottom of the list. Having a smaller recruiting firm, they will likely be more willing to try to find you something since they will have a lot of financial stake.Does anyone here know any recruiters who work in a big public recruiting firm, professionally or personally, in the New York City area?

Either way - a recruiting firm isn't a guarantee of a job - you need to have good interviewing skills, a strong resume, and will need to be hire-able. If you are seen as a challenge for a recruiter, then they won't have faith in trying to find you something.
Finally - don't worry about the location of a recruiter necessarily. Recruiting companies are worldwide. My current job I got through a recruiter based in Scotland for a position in Houston, only because he had worked with my company (which has a global reach) and placed me well into a position that was a perfect fit for me.
Finding a recruiter who specializes in your field is the most important part, the second most is that they have connections within the companies you might be interested in.
I'll echo this. At the very least a sport coat, or shirt and tie, even if the general dress code is jeans and a tee shirt.Yeah I'll agree with that. I don't know what a large-scale recruiting firm is - but when I was looking for a job and signing up for recruitment stuff I started getting emails and phone-calls from people in India sending me shit jobs of 6 or 12 month term hires for overall mediocre amounts. No thanks.
Also... I don't care if it's via webcam or in-person.. wear a fuckin' suit + tie. I can't count how many times that I've gotten complimented on that and told that the people I beat out didn't wear one.
it doesnt because he *is* a college student.How does this differentiate you from some college student?
I'm the same way. If I'm unemployed I shoot fish in a barrel and apply to anything and everything.When i'm jobseeking - something that for 10 years has happened to me nearly once every six months (contract work) - i apply to 2/3 jobs PER DAY.
When i got made redundant during the 2008 iceland bank crash, in just over a year i applied to approximately 3000 jobs. 3000 application, ten interviews, 1 job.
Thankfully in my first job search out of college I only applied to ~10 companies, landed a few interviews, and got one offer. Pay was very good, and I was just looking for the experience at that time. I stayed with that company 8 years and interviewed a few times for outside roles, none of which I applied for on my own (headhunted for all of them) - none were really great fits but I wanted to keep my interviewing skills up, and didn't land any offers with those until the last one, which was an awesome fit and which I easily landed an offer.
If I lost my job tomorrow, I have enough of a network that I could probably land with another company without too much trouble, but I'd still be applying for at least 10-20 roles a day.
Gah that's the worst. I came into the market at the end of 2011/beginning of 2012 while O&G was coming back up. Thankfully secured myself pretty well, so when the market took a shit in 2014/2015 I was considered a "high potential employee" and was kept while a handful of others got taken out back. This time around even though I'm a new hire, I'm in a very flat organization and performing relatively well so I wasn't very concerned when O&G took another dive.Heh, my first job out of school was the ultimate in desperation.... I'm a business MIS major. Zero experience under my belt. Zero past jobs/internships under my belt.
Double Whammy - this was in 2010 at the heart of the great recession when jobs weren't exactly plentiful.
Ended up getting a job for a mega-corp tech company doing credit/collections. It actually wasn't half-bad. Starting pay was $46k. 2 or so years in they outsourced half the department to Guadalajara and I was canned.
That's when I used some connections to get the kind of jobs I do today around tax.
I guess I should consider myself lucky. Had a co-op with a company during college, they wanted me back after graduation, and I've been there ever since (12 years).
Lucky and smart are 2 different things.
I wish I did the internship game. I also wish someone would have taught me about that more - though it's much more prominent now than it was in 2010. Regardless, ignorance isn't an excuse. r
Anyhow, still found my way through the system. The key to the game is.... keep moving. Never get complacent. Companies are just like people - they will take advantage of you if they can.
