Company ideas for a friend

i’d have him get more in touch with people in the industry (which is what you’re doing so i’ll leave it at that)… workpittsburgh, pghtech, dice, careerbuilder are all good sources for IT jobs… what is your friends ambition and specifics? has he ever worked anywhere? to be frank, without experience he’s not going to be worth what might be expected (having a degree and all)… lacking experience he should try to get in somewhere in the helpdesk realm… sounds shitty, but that’s reality.

also, bayer is a satisfactory company to deal with… turnover there is pretty high and the outsourcing faction of the business is growing… they are undergoing infrastructure transformation that is taking dependencies away from the area… nothing insane or ruining of the business, but i’m curious as to why they are a ‘hot’ employer? i know they’ve been trying to staff engineering jobs for over a year now… tons of consulting opportunities there, just not worth the time (in my humble opinion).

every company has computers… every company needs support… so finding a job shouldn’t be an issue… networking the right groups to find the right job is the caveat. have him forward his resume to staffing companies and try to get in somewhere as a staff augmentation position… otherwise work a help desk and build experience…

anytime you upload an IT resume tons of emails and calls will follow… local recruiting firms watch those sites for recently modified resumes to weed out potential applicants from past ‘lookers’.

Actually he has 6 years of experience, he started there in his second year of school.
