The Job Search Begins

Now that CPE is finished I have to find a job. I've actually already posted my resume to monster and careerbuilder and it's crazy the number of agencies that place people that have called me. It's also crazy people from Buffalo, NY that try and get me to move! I didn't move to NYC to work in Buffalo. I think my toughest sell is going to be the salary that I'm requesting. Because the cost of living was so low in Indiana I got paid a fairly good wage but out here in NY that wage is nothing (as far as compensation for actual job/skill equality). I'm looking forward to the search.

In preparation for the "background" checks that the jobs are going to do for me, I've googled myself. It's actually kinda funny how old some of the stuff that shows up is. I think a big bonus is actually an article on this site. When I wrote Asterisk on OpenWRT, quite a few tech websites picked up the article and plastered it all over the Internet. My server actually went down (I was running it off a DSL connection) and I had to move it to a few T1s.

I can't wait to have my first NYC job!
