It has now been over 1 year since I was laid off from my last job. Since that time, with the exception of a 3 month period, I have been searching for full-time employment in the Information Technology (IT) field. As of yet, I still have not been able to find a position. I have sent resumes in response to dozens job postings, I have had less than a dozen interviews.
My hopes in posting this message is to try to network and get the word out there that I am looking for full-time employment in IT. Any help that you could offer me in my search would be greatly appreciated. Here are some examples of how you can help... Check your employer's job postings for any IT positions that I may be suited for and let me know about them; pass my contact information on to the manager in your company's IT department; send my info to others that you know of that work in an IT position; let me know of any companies that you know of that may have a need for my services; let me know of any job search boards, IT recruiters or other sources that you know of that may lead me to a job; simply keep me in mind if you hear of openings anywhere; offer any advice on job searching/networking; etc.
I have 10 years of experience in the IT industry. I have done analysis, design, development, implementation, team leadership, mentoring and led formal training classes. My main experience is with Visual Basic, ASP and SQL. I am looking for a Development, Team Leader, Project Manager or Functional Analyst position. I am looking for work in the Philadelphia, PA metropolitan area.
Of course, if you or someone you know would like a copy of my resume, just ask.
Thank you very much for offering any help that you can.
