I need a Job!

[Wallace]

So I finally found a job I love, I make great money, and I am happy with I do. I wake up this morning and turn on the computer, Syracuse.com pops up and what is the first story: http://blog.syracuse.com/news/2007/1...eld_produ.html (http://blog.syracuse.com/news/2007/10/honeywell_buys_hand_held_produ.html)

it also made cnnmoney.com
http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/...15102007-1.htm (http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/prnewswire/NYM05915102007-1.htm)

Now I have to wonder if I still have that wonderful job. I get to work and the first thing I see is three female employees walking out the front door, they were crying. I have been at work for over 3 hours now and nobody knows anything. The article’s say that Honeywell will decide what they are going to do with the company after doing a finical review of the NY hq. Anybody that lives in NY knows how expensive it is to own/run a company here.

So if anybody knows of a company in the Syracuse area that is hiring a Level I Computer Electronics technician with a degree in CEET please lmk.

You know what they say: "If you can't beat them: buy them and liquidate their assets."

Sorry. :(

I've found that Monster.com is actually a pretty good resource for IT Professionals. I'm a Help Desk Manager at the dinky little school I go to. I posted my resume on Monster.com and within a week I'd already had two interviews and two offers for positions that pay significantly more than I'm making now. I live in Boston, where there are probably more job opportunities than Syracuse, but post your resume anyway.

Monster is definitely great. Also your local newspaper might have a website with a classified section where you can post your resume. That is usually a great option because you know all the offers you get will be local. Even though you can specify that on monster a lot of the time you will get contacted by people that are outside of your area (which may not be a problem for you but I duno). Trick is to post your resume in as many places as you can.

Yeah Monster found me the Job at Hand Held, My resume went active the second I heard the News.

I'd help you out, but our IT department is downsizing. Sorry duder, and good luck!

I concur with the awesomeness of Monster. Keep updating your profile every day for a week or two and you shouldn't have any trouble finding a good position.

www.dice.com (IT professionals)
www.usajobs.gov (Gov't jobs, that likely aren't going away)
www.careerbuilder.com (like Monster, kinda)
syracuse.craigslist.org (for finding smaller companies, and obscure positions)

Do you know how to stomp cocaine into crack?

C-X tech. or is it CS tech. What ever it is. I hear commericals for them all the time on the radio. Might look in to them.

It's CX Tech and I am looking into them. From what I hear it is a great place to work.

Monster is actually generally the worst.

When I needed a job, I got a good one from replying to a Craigslist ad. Lots of temp/contract agencies use it, which aren't the greatest thing, but there's some good jobs. Especially if you need temp work or odd jobs to hold you over.

http://www.jobbankinfo.org used to be really good too (it's run by the Dept of Labor), but I don't know how quality it is currently.

Thanks Akki.
