in IT Jobs / Degrees
Finally, the job search is over. Man looking for a job sucks. I applied to over 40 jobs and only hearing back from a few. 2 companies, 2 interviews, and 2 offer sheets later I finally got a job.

Thanks everyone for the help with the resume it apparently help a lot.

Also my top 4 websites for looking for a job were

monster
careerbuilder
dice
craigslist

My advice for anyone looking for a job. Stick in the batters box and keep swinging and eventually you will get a hit. Keep studying and good things will come...

    Congrats!

    Was it hard to chose between the two offers or were the offers from the same company as a result of negotiation?

    I will be working as a network technician for a gov't contractor at a local military base but can travel anywhere. Can't wait to do some traveling. My wife is cool with it so it makes it even better.

    The one offer was 20,000 less than the one I took. I was so pissed when they offered that b/c I was told from the person who referred me (recruiter) that they would be able to meet my salary requirements. They were an small IT company that is up and coming. The second job is working for a big company and they were able to meet my asking salary. So it was a no brainier.

    Now I can focus on ICND2 fullyicon_study.gif

    Congrats! Sounds like you will have a fun job there, especially with the traveling. I am another one that has been job hunting since August of last year. These threads are starting to bring me hope again.
