Re: Will work to pay bills

You may want to consider taking an operators job for a while.This is what
i had to do for 18 months till end of 2005. Then I found a job that I was
suited for. I did other ops work in the past as well. It is harsh, but it
at least gives you some experience, and you never know what could
develope.

personally I think programming will continue to offer less work, whilest
Admin will be strong.

I have been having a little problem finding work. I started in 2000,
worked for a manufacturer who in a years time promptly got on the H1b
wagon sponsored and hired off the lottery boat for savings. In 2001 I find
myself overwhelmed by the influx of AS/400 Programmers out of work with
much more experience than myself at the time which put me in a
professional limbo. Found some consulting contracts over a period of 5
years ending with a one month contract ending in January 2006. With all
the given holes on my employment record I find it next to impossible to
convince any prospective employer of my expertise. I can and have done
good work for the clients I have come across.  But when employers see my
resume they shy away because of the gaps which vary from 3-6 months. I
have good references from the last job I had. I even passed a AS/400 RPG
prove it exam six months ago in the top 80% percentile.

I just need one need one chance to prove myself to a company, any company,
preferably Warehouse Retail/Distribution.
