Well I just Joined the Ranks....
...of the Unemployed.
Just got the word, Position is being eliminated at the end July. Can't say I didn't see it coming....they've been talking about outsourcing IT lately and my boss hasn't been able to look me in the eye all week.
Time to polish up the resume

That sucks, but there are jobs out there.
Always good to keep that resume polished and a hardcopy backup in case things get lost...

This sucks Kevin. I've been there and know what you mean. Fortunately for you they've trained you on a bunch.
What are your areas of knowledge / expertise? Certs?
Even now, the job market in the Boston are for IT folks is better than down here in Rhody. I get calls still for people wanting me to go to Boston

Gonna polish up the resume tonight, already got something in the pipeline possible (My Neighbor manages a Datacenter)....we'll see what happens.
Told the wife its going to be the "Summer of Kevin" she didn't find the humor in that.

TDF, if you'd like I'd be happy to take a look at your resume when you get it updated. I work in H.R. and have seen and evaluated a few thousand resumes in the last several years. I may also be able to put you in touch with a good headhunter if you're interested.

with no loyalty !!! they never learn . keep it in house and you have employees that care , have pride in the company and are loyal to the bosses . Im hoping to retire in 3 years and get a less technical job . Mcdonalds might be hiring then .

You'll do better. The Summer of Kevin? Go for it if you can swing it. I had the chance once, didn't and regret it. Coulda mowed lawns or something on the side for beer money.
