Hotniks, you should teach me IT stuff and we can go into business together. We'll be like superheroes, except cooler.

Bummer man. Good luck in your search.

Personally I would recommend checking out any colleges near you to see if they have open IT positions. The pay usually isn't quite as nice, but the benefits are usually tip-top and from my experience most colleges try not to fire people during budget crunches. At least the one I work at is trying to avoid it during our budget crunch.

Go to Monster, DICE.Com, Careerbuilder, the works. You'll get calls, but it'll probably be contract work. Take it, it's better than nothing.

I lost my job this summer and had a bitch of time finding work.

Out of desperation, I submitted my resume to Robert Half. Within 7 days I was on site working a three month temp to perm.

Three weeks into that contract, it worked out so well I was offered a position and am now making 25% more than I was at my last job.

Nothing but good things to say about those folks.


Edit - they're traditionally a finance company but they're one of the biggest at what they do... and they have an IT division... can't hurt.

i work for an IT recruiting company (though hopefully not for long)

drop me a line.


also, are you interested in relocating or only looking for jobs local to Albany. Also, we pretty much only recruit for contract work, though we do have many assignments that are 1 year and ongoing with constant renewals each year.

if contract work represents all your current opportunities, you could try IT jobs with the Federal or state government.

a quick google search netted a result or two:

here's one list for U.S. Federal jobs in Albany in the information technology area.



Sorry to hear about getting cut. I hope these lists help you.

So, today I learned that as of January first I will be out of a job.

To summarize, my Hospital affiliated with a larger healthcare entity. Our IT department was integrated with their corporate IT department, everything for us was cool. Anyone who was losing a job (not many, mostly just administrative staff), were notified 6 months or more ago......well as part of the affiliation, they naturally have been doing a review of finances, payroll, etc etc etc. Last month, they (company we merged with) uncovered that my Hospital had been improperly billing patients for years, decades even. They had to immediately stop, and are now making $40,000 a month less than before, so naturally their budget for next year is screwed.

Basically, they pushed the panic button and did the one sure fire thing that would get them that money back right away, FIRE SALE!!!

So 2 of our IT staff had to be axed, and I was one of the 2.

Anyone who is or knows a job recruiter, hook a brother up. I'm in the Albany New York area, and have 4-5 years in IT, systems and network administration.

My resume is ready and on standby

This is the first time I've ever lost a job, this was emotion completely foreign to me. This sucks

Email me your resume. I'm not guaranteeing anything, but I may be able to help.

By the way: networking > recruiters . This is always true since a personal endorsement will go a lot longer than the opinion of someone who is in it for their commission.

Send me your phone number as well. Lauren, my daughter Sara and I are leaving to visit my parents tonight for the rest of the week + weekend, but I'll review your resume and possibly call for clarification after I return.
