Re: STILL trying to get work...

To continue.

Thank you for the responses.  I really posted to see how 'alive' this LUG 
was.  Using my somewhat frustrating financial/employment situation as in 
'in'.  My question is, obviously, still uppermost...  To whit:  I have 20 
plus years self-employed IT Support, with no qualifications to speak of.  
Excellent reviews, but no real evidence.  I need a 'foot in the door' 
within the IT industry.  Sys Admin may be a tad high for me, though 
Assistant Sys Admin, until I find my feet, would suit.  I am mostly 
self-taught, experimenting and troubleshooting with OSX, Windows and, most 
importantly to me, various Linux Distros, specifically Debian-based.  I am 
also very good at 'translating' techspeak to 'userspeak' and have proven 
myself to be a more than competent teacher/trainer.


I have checked out the 'big' jobsites, agencies and 'signed up' with the 
biggies, such as Apple, Blizzard and EMC (I have a friend working at the 
latter).


So, there you have it, in a nutshell.

STILL trying...
