Possible Job?

[UbiSunt]

I just graduated with a Master's in European History and have been searching for a job teaching History, English, or even Religion for the majority of the summer. Unfortunately, it appears that there are no job openings within a sixty mile radius and I need an alternate job, at least for a year. I know several schools that will have openings as of next year that are interested but I really need a job now.

Anyway, I do work with computers and networking stuff on the side as sort of a hobby. I've built several systems for members of my family and others as well as set up networks, wired and wireless. Most of what I know has been self-taught, although I do learn rather quickly.

-So my question is this:

With my background, do any of ya'll think I could fill this position at the local hospital?

Full time position available. Must have good working knowledge of TCP/IP protocol and WAN networking equipment. Must have strong organizational skills and the ability to handle high pressure environment. Must have the ability to install, modify and make minor repairs to a verity of computer hardware and software. BS of Science or equivalent from a College or Technical School with majority of course work in Computer Science strongly preferred.

If so, what are the main abilities/experience that I should stress in the application ?

Cake job. But I get the feeling you'll find a job in Euro History if you keep at it.

You could probably do it.

I'd start by telling them you know how to spell variety. Assuming you copied and pasted that paragraph.

I did copy and paste it.

A newsmagazine called "Chronicle of Higher Education" has hundreds of very attractive foreign and domestic educational job listings, I highly recommend checking it out at your local library (the subscription is quite expensive if I recall...). :thumbsup:

EDIT: I found their site: http://chronicle.com/

I'm pretty sure that the reason for this job opening existing is that the hospital is adding a new wing. So I would imagine the job consists primarily of wiring the new section of the building.
