Speaking as someone looking for a business type job - where should I be looking?

HI, what do you mean 'where' though... as in what part of the country?

As much as I come here I never noticed this thread .

Throwing my hat in, I was unemployed last Oct and lucked up on a short contract that was suppose to end in Nov. but now its ending at the end of this month. What joy...I have experience in Windows/Unix Help Desk, 5 years experience in Aix and RS/6000. Looking for a job as Unix Administrator or Help Desk in Chicagoland area. My resume is available just email or PM me.

The Golf Warehouse -www.tgw.com- where I work has a job opening for a Web Graphics designer with experience in Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and knowledge of HTML. Example of work required, wages based on experience.

I know not many of the users of these forums live in this area, but I thought that any of you looking for a job might be open to this info, with unemployment so high.

Anyway- Drop me an email at jcmarney@tgw.com if you want more info, or PM me.

Thanks.

So here I am in Atlanta (why did I leave San Diego), just out of the Marine Corps where I was an IT manager/programmer/Dbase admin/LAN manager for four years...I have my BS in Mgmt/CIS (Magna Cum Laude) & what am I doing?

I am back in insurance (which I used to do before the USMC) as a property adjuster...IT IS SO DEAD IN ATL...Stay away if you can!

I am really saddened to see so many of us here in Atlanta not finding anything. I searched for a couple of months for an IT job & finally gave up & went back to insurance. Now that I am "gainfully" employed again, I am starting my search for my "dream" IT job...

It is so much easier to find a good job when you already have a job that pays well. At least I don't have to worry about my UI running out and not being able to pay bills. I really feel for you guys out there that are having a hard time. I only pray that 2003 holds a brighter future for us all!

If anyone is interested in discussing my qualifications, PM me...

Congratulations on your Graduation Henry. Best wishes in your search and the New Year.
On the re-location, I don't think it would be advisable to even think about Atlanta.

x75, how hard is it getting into insurance (with no previous experience)?

right now I would take anything to help pay the bills

Hmm, well in this company that I am at it would be impossible. They won't hire an adjuster for example without experience. You can try progressive, they are always hiring auto adjusters. All you need are some customer service skills & a 4 year degree. Auto adjusting is stressful but you can make about 35k to begin (entry level). Good luck!!

While searching for jobs at nationjobs.com I came across a link to this thing called a Personal Data Center

That site has, imo, a great way to show your experience and quiz yourself on common interview questions (and provide responses) and have that all show on a personalized website that can be sent to prospective employers.

FWIW, here's my Personal Data Center

Things in Canada are bad right now.... just not many positions to be found.... other than super-high-end ones that'll take me ANOTHER two years of education just to be able to persue! I just need a nice, entry-level networking job to get some experience! You'd think a Cisco CCNA would be worth something... *sigh*

 

[Quake]

This is scaring me.

because that means, if I study computers, I might have some problems when I graduate

 

[bluemax]

I would NOT recommend going to school for "computers" unless it's for at least a 4-year university degree. You probably won't find employment with anything less. At least as far as I'm finding.
