Thanks for all the comments guys! I've already got 2 leads with companies in my area...all from one phone call. My brother is a beast in the IT job market. He has connections all over the east coast.

Title was Business Analyst, but mainly did production support for an operations area. Some technical support for the software packages we used, and some project related analyst work.

Time to update my profile here... :|

Good luck to you. It sounds like you've got a marketable skill set - hopefully it won't be long before you find something new and better. You know the old saying - when one door closes, another one opens. Hang in there and keep your head up.

Try dice.com. It sounds like your background matches up with some of their listings.

Im not an IT but it appears in this period where a lot of companies are downsizing and laying off workers that IT's are being hit hardest, no? Since the late 80's and early 90's there seems to be an over abundence of people looking for computer related work and I would think that this ultimately hurts the profession, companies can afford to replace people much cheaper. ... but maybe im all wrong, just an outsider looking in.

If anyone is looking for a new career, go into the healthcare field, there will never be a shortage there.

Yeah, there will always be a need for healthcare workers. I work for a cell phone tower company, so unless people stop using their cell phones I'm pretty safe.


SteelerCollector, I replied to your PM.

first thing that popped into my mind... 10:00 am on tuesday is odd.

anyway good luck. Get any sort of severance pay or anything? If so, enjoy a little mini-vacation while looking for a job.

You think that is bad how about this. My grandparents owned a printing company in Jacksonville Fl. They sold it 15 years ago to another company in the area. They still worked there as sales reps. Two months ago they got called into the big guys office and he fired them because they we to heavy manned and couldn't justify having 5 sales reps.
