So, I'm out of a job.

I am a Desktop Support professional with 5 years experience, A+ and Network+ certified. Prior to that several years of Customer Service oriented positions.

Job history bounces around a bit from 2000-2004 due to the dotcom bust, but most of my experience is in the Windows environment in companies with anywhere from 50-5000 users. The last 2 years I have worked at a Computer Security company in a Desktop Support role. Hardware & Software break/fix, Active Directory, Printer Support, laptops, desktops, some telephony support.

If you know of any open positions specifically in the Boston or Metro North area (the 128, rt 3, rt 93, rt 495 box) please let me know. My IM is listed in my info or email to sgcerone AT yahoo DOT com.

Thanks for your help.

I don't. But if you go here (http://www.employment.harvard.edu/), you can search the University I work for, and come up with a bunch of IT positions (http://jobs.harvard.edu/jobs/search_req_custom_read?BusinessLogicRoutine=search_req_custom_bl&FromHarvie_3=N&approve_date=*&positions=IT&estabids_faculties=*&estabids_institutions=*&estabids_central=*&part_time_flag=%3D+%27N%27&grade=*&loc_code=*&search_text=&order_by=approve_date+DESC). Granted, not many friends have had much like with the school, but the bennies are nice, so it's worth a shot.

Also, I asked erik_j_meyer (my brother) and his gf dee_cee (who does help desk stuff) if they knew of anything at their publishing company.

Oy.

After interviewing with the HR person, I think like works there. ;)

I did find one position and applied for it. Thank you for the pointer.

It was a helpdesk analyst position.

Possibly..

Hi, I was sent here by tisana.

We JUST hired someone here at our HD, but we will be hopefully looking to fill another seat in a month or two.

Position: Help Desk Tech I

Windows XP environment, Mac OSX Tiger, Wireless (Treos and Blackberries), phone experience. We're trying to become a first-call resolution environment, rather than a call center one.

I know a month may be long to wait, but maybe you can stick this note on a calendar and ping me about it then if you're still looking (which, hopefully not, but just in case).

Thanks. I will do that.

Talk to you soon.

Looking through Tufts' hiring pages, it looks like they have a desktop position open in Medford/Somerville (sorry for the ugly URL):

BTW - I believe you were my rescuer on Friday Night? Thanks very much for the inhaler, it was appreciated to no end.

You're quite welcome. I didn't know how you felt about using someone else's drugs, but I know how much it sucks being in the middle of an attack without your own nearby, so I thought I would at least offer.
