in IT Jobs / Degrees
today's message from me is keep your head up the opportunities will come.

been on the hunt in one form or another for the past year after feeling like i hit a brick wall as far as moving forward in my current position and i'm excited to say I have taken up a new position with a local consulting firm. TONS of opportunity for myself here as far as projects and hands on experience goes, nice salary increase, and lots of interesting perks like a cellphone, company car, etc....

celebration time.

    Congratulations!! drunken_smilie.gif

    Did you do anything special like haunt the local technology centers and stalk the hiring managers? Or did you just luck out and get a call via the job boards or get a call back from an application to a job board posting?

    Congrats dude. Time to do some celebrating.
    You got any tips for us poor schlubs still looking?
    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    Thanks for the encouragement; while I am thankful that I have a good job, I am wanting to relocate and it is driving me bonkers! Got some good leads in the works thogh, hopefully something will drop soon.

    got a call back, there were plenty of times over the course of the search where I doubted myself and my abilities but really what it came down to was finding the right fit.
