[quote=“FormulaLS1,post:19,topic:30174"”] Once again…If you think your going to pick up the Buffalo news out of school and get a great IT job its not going to happen. If you actually apply your self and look around there are a lot of well paying IT jobs…with room for growth… [/quote] Thats what I did, but in my findings 8 months ago a “well paying IT job” requires experience when in fact no company wants to spend X amount of $ to train / hire someone without at least 3-4 years job experience under your belt and a Bachelors degree in the IT field. I did research in this area opposed to other areas with the same economic stature, Ive concluded that there is little potential here. I haven’t nor needed to look at the job market here in Buffalo for some time now; maybe it has changed ---

thats not just a problem with IT jobs. Thats a problem with all Careers in Buffalo. My g/f is going through the same thing. She’s got more experience then most college grads and shes got above a 3.0 gpa but still can’t even get interviews. And those jobs that shes trying to get interviews at arent even THAT well paying of jobs. This is not a good city for young ppl to find jobs out of college. ---

[http://www.infotechniagara.org/](http://www.infotechniagara.org/) Does networking events for IT people… There are a few very good staffing companies around here…You just need some experience. You don’t walk out of college and get a 50-60k a year job in the IT world… Go do help desk or something for a year…get your CCNA or some worth while certs… **get hands on experience and go from there** …Don’t just go and list 1000 acronyms on your resume…detailing previous work you have done helps a lot… ---

[/quote] :word: I went through the same thing, had an interview at an Amherst school, asked if i had any experience and any certs. I said 2 years experience and no certs.

No one just graduating will stay here long enough. There isnt the growth so no one will really hire someone out of college since they are at a higher chance to leave. ---

Unfortunately just showing up and doing a good job will leave you in the same job getting meager standard raises. ---
