Hey guys,
Now is the time i really need to secure a job in MN. I will be moving to MN in April and would really like to have a job before i move.

I am looking for a job as a Systems Administrator/Network Administrator, or something along those lines. I have lots of expirence with everything from Administrating Windows Server 2003, Install/Setup/Maintining a Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V, MSSQL Database administration/Manipulation/installation, Exchange Administration, Website Administration. Basically have had expirence managing and configureing most everything to do with a windows network. The past two jobs i have had were as an IT Administrator running everything myself.
I have also had expirence with applications such as Autocad 2009, Solidworks 2009, the Adobe Suite including Creation of Flash elements, The full Microsoft office suite etc.
I have some linux expirence, mostly with the installation and configuration of a linux server.
I am working on my MCSE currently and am planning on haveing the MCSA, and MCSE completed by July.
I have been applying to positions on monster.com, Dice.com, Careerbuilder.com and trying to work my contacts that i have from friends/family.
If you guys can be of any help i would really appreciate it. I attached my most recent resume.
Thank you

I would try craigslist too, I think I saw a few Network Admin/Sys Admin jobs posted there.

Good luck, Tom. It's rough, but there are jobs out there. I'll ask my IT friends to see if there are any job openings.

Yea its a tough one out there Tom. Ive been applying here and there but Im working on my MCSA as well as CCNA right now. Im staying with my old job till I complete those. Hope things get better in the next year.

Its a very competitive market out there right now.

Thanks, but i dont think i have the expirence to do the programming that the positions require. One of them was working with SQL databases which i do have lots of expirence but the JSP, XSL and FOP i really have no expirence in.

just a tip, you should try to condense your resume down to 1 page. Good luck in your job hunt! Contrary to what people say, tech careers are still doing pretty well right now.

The only way that would happen is if i brought the type down to 2pt. But regardless i have heard from many employers and placement people that 3 pages is fine for IT people because there are so many elements to IT. Such as software you are competent in, languages you can program in, etc.
