[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 584554, member: 4932"] There are several places where there is still a need for technicians, particularly smart ones who will want to finish a 4 year degree: Louisville, Atlanta, Mahwah, and possibly CACH in Chicago. These sites have MAJOR network infrastructure, far more complex and extensive than the average district. They need strong, highly motivated technical people to keep the blinky lights blinking, so the packages can keep moving. Louisville is the home of the Airline, and Worldport(TM) the world's largest automated sorting facility. They have a server farm as big as the other two data centers, even though they don't call it that. (Data center) Mahwah is the main data center, with the backup in Atlanta. CACH is a large automated hub, but not as big or automated as Louisville. Right now, I am not sure if any hiring is going on, due to the recession. But getting your resume in can't hurt. If all you can do is set up PC's and follow a script from an end-user phone call, there is no job for you. If you know which lights should be blinking on the patch panel, and how to figure out what's wrong when they don't, there is more need for that, but probably only at these 4 sites. Make sure you know Linux as well as Windows networking. I'm prejudiced: I think Louisville is the best of the 4 as a place to work. How far a relocation would that be for you? Good luck. [/QUOTE]
