Well, looks like I've joined the "reorged out of a job" club. The 14th was my last work day. I'm currently job hunting, and I'm wondering if anyone in BAIC knows of any open sysadmin positions. I'm an experienced sysadmin (mostly windows, all versions, client and server), I have my CCNA, and I have management experience.

If any of you guys have any leads, please shoot them my way.

Thanks all. It's good to be part of BAIC, the COMMUNITY that looks out for each other.

Sorry there Joe i do not. I'm just saying HI. I don't see you on the forum as much these days. And are you and Roe going to come on the Wine Tour # 2 when it happens. Date undesided. Most likely March 7th 2004.

Sorry to hear you're out of a job

Your'e still an 03 right? or was this another fulltime civi job?

bump anywho...

Eric

 

hahahahaha! right, sysadmin jobs! surely you jest!

seriously, i was a UNIX admin until i was downsized in July -- and i'm still unemployed. i wish you the best of luck finding another position, because there really are not many out there.

 

Your best shot finding a Systems Admin jobs will be in India.


Hope you have better luck than me finding one.
PS. also Unemployed ( and looking )

 

My budies Joe and Don are both out of a job. hardluck guys. hey but be happy in the entire US last year we created 1000 new jobs. (D'oh)

 

I think we might have some openings for Windows admins in the near future, but I don't know what they'll be looking for. Check in with me every couple weeks and I'll let you know.

BTW: We're in Rancho Cordova though...

edit: you know what - I'll leave my original post..but you probably don't want to work here....just trust me on that one.

 

Well, with 14 years in IT, 13 years in the military, and management experience, I think I can find a decent job at a decent wage. Who knows... I may have to go on active duty for a bit as an O3, maybe get a language, to make ends meet. I have options, so I'm not worried yet.... but ask me in two months

bushido:

I don't know about the wine tour road trip yet. I'll have to see once we check the budget. Row and I would be happy to go, though.

BAH, DO NOT USE THE "I" word!!!!! It will be the death of all of us, I swear

SonicSuby: What company do you work for (out of curiosity) and what do you do? I'm in Folsom.

 

This will sound lame, but *technically*, I'm not supposed to put that on the net. If I end up getting laid off in March, THEN I can post it

I can say what I do there. I work in Systems Management doing automation. We have some monitoring tools (Tivoli, ProactiveNet, SiteScope) and we support Remedy on the server side. I do a lot of programming in PERL on Wintel and UNIX systems (aix/solaris) to better monitor our systems and apps. Lately I've been doing a lot of automation work to integrate our Tivoli console product with Remedy. It's actually pretty cool, but my company (currently anyway) has decided to move our department functionality to Texas. I find out next week if that's really going to happen - if so I'll be laid off as of March 31.

So anybody got any openings? I learn fast and I'm real nice I can send you my resume if you've got an opening at your company that will fit what I can do!

 

I am very lucky to still have my job...

 

That sucks man. But look on the bright side, at least your company is good enough to not ship its jobs outside of the US... it's the "I" word again.

You can always take the DLAB if you already haven't and then goto Monterey for six months for active 03 pay and in the mean time try to line something up for the future.

I'm very familiar with the language requirements . I haven't taken the DLAB yet, but if I did, I would aim for a high score, so I can get a CAT IV or V language, like Chinese Mandarin or Korean. Each is over a year, but I can justify it with the unit fund manager . It's either that or complete my transfer to the Air Force, do their 8 months training, and then see about getting Japanese at DLI. Either way, I'd get BAH and BAS for my zip code, which should just about cover my mortage.

I took the DLAB out at JFKSWCS and qualified for Serbo Croat, Tagalog and a few others. I took it when my unit had a lot of downtime and i was getting ready for SFAS but i never re-upd for SFQC. Very interesting test i might add and goodluck studying for it if you went that route. the audio portion screwed me over.

Anway, if i had a job for you i'd hire you in a heartbeat. Goodluck with whatever you decide.
