You have a pretty good chance at landing something like a NOC job or similar support position. The key will be to write a good resume and wow them in the interview.

I've seen a few craigslist job ads for NOC positions in the North NJ and NYC areas. There was even a "Junior Network Admin/Entry level" job ad up.

I think once you get your CCNA, you should be fine. And at that point, recruiters might even find YOU instead of the opposite way around.

We have an opening in MD if you're willing to relocate. Going for an interview would be a pain though since there are 3 personal interviews.

PM sent about the opening job in MD. Let me know, thanks.

I can't seem to get my PMs working (Probably not enough posts or something along those lines). I'd like to talk to you about the positions. Mind if I shoot you an email?

Repped you with my e-mail.

Right next to the airport. I actually applied to a NOC job in Hanover a couple of days ago, might be it.

Yes, right next to the airport. Did they contact you?
