in response to someone looking for a job in Germany, are you crazy? Germany has about a 12% unemployment rate, its banks are a mess, the country is in a rotting phase... why'd you want to go there really...

I just spoke with my chief of operations about open positions and I may have some promising leads for anybody who is willing to make a few sacrifices:

Upcoming positions:

IT Trainer (1)
Help Desk (7)
Network Installer (1)
Sys Admin (1, maybe 2)
VTC Tech (1 possible)

This is a government contract overseas, but within a few hours flight time of the U.S. All of the jobs except for 3 of the help desk positions require an active SECRET clearance...the other 3 help desk positions require a TS/SCI clearance. You would be on federal tax-free status (up to $80,000 income per year). The tour is for a minimum of one year and it is unaccompanied (no family can come with you but they can visit), you can ship up to 5000 lbs of household goods and a private vehicle at company expense. You would be required to share quarters with one other employee. Housing and basic utilities (electric, water) are provided. Telephone, cable, and internet are available.

The details I put here are limited, but I will make every attempt to respond to private messages - unless of course I get deluged with responses! Please be gentle...

few hours out of the US, in what direction, towards the equator?

Hrm, maybe you guys can point me in the right direction as I'm feeling lost.

I was laid off one week before Christmas and haven't really pulled myself back up yet. I'm 23 years old. Worked at an insurance agency as an agent since my senior year in high school until I was laid off. More CSR work then sales. So I have this nice resume for the insurance industry, but I feel I don't belong.

I enjoyed helping people, but I realized it's a dirty business - or at least the place I worked at. I'm not sure I want to waste another five years in something I don't enjoy. I do not know any programming whatsoever for PCs. I've basically just been tearing them apart and putting them back together since '95 (13). I can do the easy things as far as installs, OSs, general hardware/software repairs. I know I enjoy computer hardware, but never really picked up on the software part. I have no training, and things started off so well as an insurance agent I never attended college.

I guess at this point I'm asking you guys who are more familiar as your in the industry now, have gone through school, and have experienced the field.

Are there entry level jobs for guys like me? Or somewhere to go in the right direction? Is job security still a major problem?

I'll hopefully go see a college counsler soon to even get an idea of what type of field/career I'd even go into as I know I need a college degree. I'd just like to hear from the community that's actually in the field first. I'm in the Cleveland, OH area.

Thanks.

okay what is your personal situation outside of your job... you're 23... no college degree... living at home? meaning parents give you a roof and help you out with food?

If it's this deal (I'm hoping) then you're optimal situation to get back to school. If it's not, would be tough to muster, but I still recommend going back to school... 4yrs not 2.

If not possible, well... certs but boy would companies rather see a degree AND certs, not just certs.

Also, hiring people rather see people change careers via going to school... whether it be an undgrad or a grad degree pointing to their new area of pursuit.

I know this thread is for employment offers, but I figured it couldn't hurt to throw myself into the fray here.

I'm a junior studying Computer Science and Math at Purdue University and I'm looking for an internship that deals directly with software development. Most interns these days are looking for web programmers, but my true interests lay in the deep source code of an appliation

If you guys know anybody who is looking for such an intern, I'd greatly appreciate it if you passed the information along. If the company is in the Chicago area, I might just jump for joy. I will be more than happy to send anybody a link to my resume. Thanks to everybody in advance and to all those who make this thread possible.

Look at the compaines that have mulitple positions in the field of concentration that you are leaning toward.

Also, many companies have partnerships with Purdue or small startups in the area are growing from Purdue grads.

Check in both the Chicago area, Ft Wayne, Kokomo, Indy.

Also, consider Cummins down in Columbus.

You will have to use some shoe leather, not just sending resumes.

find out who the head of the S/W divison is and contact him in person or by phone.
Do not start out with a fax or e-mail to the person.

If you are a US citizen and have been a good boy, check out some of the defense contractors in the area. They are usually willing to look at gofers for the summer.
