Looking for a job

SephStorm

Hi all, it looks like its time for me to transition from the military, and I am looking for a job, in the interest of fairness, I will say I am expecting to be available at the end of January or February. If anyone is recruiting or has any positions that I may be able to fill, please feel free to PM me for contact info.

A little about myself: self-starter, highly motivated about technical work looking for an SA/NA or Security position I have knowledge/experience with systems administration including troubleshooting, Active Directory, OS Support os XP-W7/W2k3-2k8, visualization technologies (VMWare)
Network Administration-experience deploying and troubleshooting Cisco network devices (mainly switches, in my career, Routers and ASA in lab, not sure if I need to make a point of that)
Information Security-Familiarity with STIG requirements, experience with vulnerability scanning and remediation for computer vulnerabilities. Familiar with Retina, Nessus, and Nexpose software. Taken courses in intrusion detection and incident handling.

Resume attached below. I'm looking for positions ideally in FL,GA, MD,VA. in that order, but I am willing to relocate worldwide. A question I would have for you all would include what kind of position should I be looking at with this set of skills? What would be a reasonable salary request? Thanks for your time.

Looks like you would be a strong candidate for a security position. Especially if you focused on the east coast.

I would agree. Thought about getting a CISSP? You would have plenty of options in the DC area thats for sure. Especially with your clearance. i would target that area.

How was being an IT specialist in the army? Did/do you like it?

It depends on a number of factors. What I will say is that you have a moch better chance of getting knowledge and IT experience in the civilian world. If you aren't doing your job or getting enough experience, you go somewhere else. If you need a raise, you ask for it. things aren't always so easy in the service.

Put your resume up on Dice.com - you'll get plenty of hits. Also, be on the lookout for job fairs that cater to vets (check out your base's career assistance center) - a lot of big name companies and government agencies will be there to help you transition in to the civilian workforce.

I agree about Dice. I just received a call today about a possible opportunity because of my resume being on Dice.

I'll defiantly do that, thank you.
