Soooooooooo after about 3 mos of unemployment, I'm about 2 steps from seeing if Micky D's needs managers

Anybody know someone hiring? - 4+yrs in the IT field (mostly webhosting), been screwing with comps and net since '96 or so and I'll be A+ certified in March with more to come soon afterwords.

Been dealing with customers since '96, Was doing sales before computers (96 - 04) so I know how to talk gab if need be.

Trying to find something that pays at least $10/hr at this point I don't really give a fuck what it is just as long as it's paying so I can go get my IT certs and build a comp to learn more Linux on.

All I have to say is good luck. I have several computer certs myself, and there is little to no openings at Houston at the moment. I would say try Staples, office max, or best buy, but the pay wouldn't be well. If you search craigslist, you'll be able to find a few contract jobs. They're all pretty far apart and scattered. I'm currently working at AutoZone until I can get back into the IT arena. Mainly did it for the parts discount. lol. Good luck though.

Craigs ain't did much of anything for me so far, Worksource got me to a few Job Fairs but that also lead to nothing sadly.

I'm trying to keep my head up but man shit is nuts.
