No jobs.

I have applied to numerous jobs for which I believe I am qualified with no luck. Even basic positions only requiring a A+ certification. I figure even if my resume was completely screwed up, I would have received a call.
I have about six years of experience and numerous certs. I can't help but think of all the new individuals to IT looking for work...you begin to wonder what the heck was all this studying for?
Sorry...I'm just venting.

They don't want to hire someone that will leave too quickly or be miserable/bored. Ytoss your resume up and let people give advice. Where are you located? Some places are really dry on tech work.

I personally live in the Orlando area, and I get calls and emails constantly from recruiters about potential openings. Although in my area they are mostly contract postions.

Also, as others have stated applying to entry level jobs when you have 6 years of experience and certifications will also not get you a call. No company wants to hire someone that will start off bored and looking to leave as soon as something better comes along. -

What kind of experience do you have? What certs do you have?
