Depending on the details, I might actually consider moving to Whitehorse. I've spent the past 10 years in IT doing desktop support work and I'm damned good at it. I haven't done that much server support but I'm a quick study. PM me the details. Only problem is my wife and I are in Toronto right now and we'd have to relocate. It'd have to be a decent job for us to make this kind of move. Any work for her by any chance? She's got her Bachelors of Mathematics from UW, did 3 semesters of IT Support for her college co-op credits and now she does construction, which she'd want to keep doing during the summers.

All candidates considered, drop me a message. It's a tough place to find a math job, but the stats Bureau might take her. Cost of housing is about the same as say Milton (now there is a boom), but the income is 30% higher. EvilJoven posted:Depending on the details, I might actually consider moving to Whitehorse.

Keep in mind if your resume is really great and you have a lot of experience they might not want to hire you because you'll cost them too much and that's not the type of person they're looking for. I know personally when I've had openings for lower end techs I tended to ignore/throw out the resumes that have lots of experience because I was looking for guys that would work cheap and wanted to get experience.

I know this is a long shot, but why not give it a try. My experience: Pretty much my whole life working on PCs, did network support for Maine's Revenue service for a 6 month contract, a lot of freelance stuff, currently working in a terribly low-paying computer repair shop. What I'm looking for: Some kind of PC repair/support position that actually pays more than $8.00/hr and maybe has some kind of benefits or something. What I'm NOT looking for: National ISP tech support. I was a CSR for MSN for six months and it scarred me. Where I live: Central Louisiana Where I'm looking: Anywhere. I don't really have any money to relocate but I'm willing and ready to do so if I can find some kind of foothold in a new place. I know people in New Orleans so I can probably get some help setting up in that area. When I can start: Two weeks notice + as long as it takes me to get wherever I'm going. Requirements: Health insurance would be awfully nice. Can be reached via: This thread, PM, jbelton@gmail.com I don't have any degrees or certs because I am broke as gently caress. I am a quick study if you have some kind of specialty job (supporting specific software, for example) and I'm drat good at PC repair and troubleshooting. I can do a little programming and I know Linux pretty well and MacOS a little. I currently spend all day removing viruses, taking apart laptops, and reinstalling Windows. I love my current job and the only reason I'm leaving is because I can't get guaranteed full time hours and the pay is awful. I like working with people and am not the stereotypical anti-social goon. I have no criminal record and I don't drink or do drugs, which makes me a unique individual in some places.

I tried to apply for a 3rd shift racker position in suburban Chicago but I found a better job in the city.

I have applied multiple times and had multiple people vouche for me, though they weren't in high up places or anything. I dunno man, I would enjoy the work environment and I know my stuff...

I think a large reason why wages have plummeted for desktop repair is mainly in part to new generations coming into the work field. I mean, a lot of desktop repair can be googled or you may know a kid down the street they call a "computer guru". In the beginning when PC's were new and fresh, finding those with skills was tough. However, times have changed and every kid on the street builds their own custom PC and its gotten to the point where fixing and building PC's is a hobby. Yes, it does take some extra knowledge, but the skills needed pales in comparison to something like Network Design, Network Administration, or Programming. Having that said, 8 bucks an hour is still a crime. Though I wouldn't be shocked by  an hour.

When I needed work right after college I worked IT for the Vet School connected to the main university. It was "part-time" read 40 hours, no benefits at $10 an hour. We were computer techs and also tasked with software support for the internal homegrown application, and monitoring the network and handing off bigger issues to the network guys for the campus. I will say though, I loved the atmosphere and the people I worked with, I had to move on because they couldn't offer me a benefitted position that paid more and the bugetpocolypse happened (late 2008) so nothing was going to happen for a long time.

Seat Safety Switch posted:A friend told me of interviewing with another temp company where they were going to charge the company $20 and pay him $13 but he would still be responsible for paying taxes as if he were receiving $20 because of some way their accounting was architected (he would get paid $20 but $7 would automatically get deducted for their placement fee?). Well, the market for these staffing companies I think will be strong in IT forever. The thing I have been using staffers for is to break the glass ceiling. What I mean is, in IT there are to many moments where you go "I am in Help Desk, how do I become a Network Admin without experience?", then "I am a Network Admin, how do I become <fill in other profession> without experience". Getting that first IT job is either a really lovely full time job. Or a contract to hire position, or a contract that gives you experience.

On this side of the pond it's about 15% but I think the lower the wage the higher the percentage. We have very good sales people who gouge the agents down though so I think it's basically what they can get away with.Seat Safety Switch posted:A friend told me of interviewing with another temp company where they were going to charge the company $20 and pay him $13 but he would still be responsible for paying taxes as if he were receiving $20 because of some way their accounting was architected (he would get paid $20 but $7 would automatically get deducted for their placement fee?). That could well be true, however he should be able to claim the entire $7 as tax deductible if tax is any way like it is over here in the UK, as he's essentially paying the agency for the service. From the hiring side, agencies suck big balls but if you try and advertise yourself you are flooded with unsuitable CVs, spam, and people in south Asia trying to find work abroad. Unless the company is large enough to have a dedicated recruitment department agencies are the way forward (I will however continue to post recruitment ads here even if no one responds to them because I hate having to deal with agents).
