The jobs aren’t going to internal people all the time. In order to transfer from job to job you have to be at your current job for over a year, that way you don’t have someone job hoping when they don’t like a job. You might have the best qualifications in the world, but maybe you weren’t avaliable when they needed you. UPMC might not be the best company to work for, but its kinda hard to beat their benefits and they have so many hospitals around and so many doctors offices it very convenient to people. I don’t even know if any of that made any sense I just woke up so who cares. Good luck on your job hunt and what UMPC branch are you trying to work for. I know some people that are pretty high up and might be able to see whats up. ---

What branch are you applying for. I don’t remember the number for HR at shadyside, the one I use to work at, but you can just call the help desk and they’ll give it to you. I knew the person that ran Central Supply, laundry, distribution, mail room, transportation for both Shadyside and Presby. I’m good friends with the Leader of SPD of Shadyside Hospital. I’m sure they will know who to contact about an IT job if its for either of those hospitals. ---

We’re hiring where I work…three positions in the IT department: [http://www.centralbloodbank.org/jobs.asp](http://www.centralbloodbank.org/jobs.asp) [https://www.healthcaresource.com/itxm/index.cfm?template=dsp\_job\_list.cfm&ifacilityid=&ijobcatid=104&fuseaction=search.jobList&ijobrowstart=1&&CFID=790524&CFTOKEN=dd5cfa1ff644ac13-F6F12D21-3048-2CE0-561FA9812702D8C0](https://www.healthcaresource.com/itxm/index.cfm?template=dsp%5Fjob%5Flist%2Ecfm&ifacilityid=&ijobcatid=104&fuseaction=search%2EjobList&ijobrowstart=1&&CFID=790524&CFTOKEN=dd5cfa1ff644ac13-F6F12D21-3048-2CE0-561FA9812702D8C0) The first two positions sound like they’re right up your alley. I’ve only been here for two and half months, but I like it a lot so far and it seems like a great place to work (hell, we actually have an old style PENSION plan…not alot of places that still do that).
