I’ve also been doing this for 3+ years, but a lot more hardcore than what this sounds 🙂 I work with 100’s of companies, rather than just one. Might be a nice change!

I am interested. I’ll get you my resume tonight.

Ok, got your resume. As soon as they start taking them, yours gets there first.

They announced him leaving about 10 minutes before my original post so they haven’t geared up for hiring yet.

Currently the network side is full. For this position we really need someone to come and organize things, streamline some of the processes etc. Someone with a good head on their shoulders.

Our department is about 16 people and growing fast. We have 2 offices in NYC, Boca, Palm Beach, Johnstown, Albany and Toronto.

So far, 2 resumes, both in the bosses hands…

We have a network team to do those things. I do not have a ballpark on the salary. We run XP, MSoft Office and a ton of other things.

If they end up posting the company job description, I will post it. We need someone organized and presentable as you will be working with attorneys and on occasion the clients may be present.

The attorneys travel and will need laptops. They do presentations so you will have to assist in that as far as setting them up. They connect from home so you will be involved in making that work. DVD and CD burning will need to be done.

The hiring process around here is slow so everyone needs to give this some time. It is so slow that they are getting a temp in here on Monday to fill in the gap while we go through the process of hiring. Corporate America sucks so be patient…
