Well, my job hunt is still proceeding. I’m getting 20-30 jobs in my inbox every day from dice.com and other job sites I’ve registered for, and I diligently respond to the ones that match my skills. So far, the returns from my resumes have been very, very rare, and the interviews nonexistent.
The online route has failed to pan out for me. I’m now into the “desparate cold-calling”, “lots of networking with people,” and “hitting the want ads” phase of the job-search, plus the “look into self-employment options while we still have money in the bank” phase. If you happen to know of an employer looking for a systems administration expert with a specialty in the integration of various operating systems, let me know!

Victory through superior Firepower….
Still have my eyes open for oportunities for you. What has seemed to work for me the last few times is the newpaper. They are typically the most current listing of job postings, and they are not as reviewed as the websites.
On the other hand, When i have applied through the websites, i have typically tracked down a name of a person and made follow up calls a fewe days later to make sure that my resume was recieved. Alot of times this gets your resume at least notices out of the hundreds that alot of these places recieve for a listing. I usually try to sympathise with the HR perosn who i am talking with. trying to tell them how i understand what a large work load they have, etc. I have had a lot of great responses by using this method.
I’ll let you know if i hear anything. I am still trying to figure out a starter business too. The are we live in is what Frederick, MD was 10 or so years ago. It will be a good place to get a foot hold. the only question is what… he he …
Have a good day…
