Thanks Dave.... I guess we never know who knows who, etc....
I have a computer science background who use to program in an assortment of computer languages. Through the years I have worked in Integration and Test environments, and most recently, I was the manager of Palm Coast Data's Software Quality Assurance. This was using automated test software to beat the heck out of in-house developed code before it becomes customer-facing.
I've been in hardware and software development arenas and utilize all the typical desktop Microsoft Office products to give presentations, project management tasks, P&L spreadsheets, and a whole host of configuration management and Software Development Life Cycle roles.
I've done Marketing Management of new devices to the consumer world, and I've worked in the aerospace industry (years back) on Navy fighter avionics and submarine warfare systems.
In fewer words..... I'm a tech geek in the Information Technologies field. Heeeee heeeeeee heeee

Sorry to hear the bad news, Look into a company called Rita Technologies, they are a division of Rita Services, the temp agency. Rita Tech. has positions more in your field. A very close freind of mine just got a position as a Software develompment PM with them, 2 year contract, with opportunity for perm. hire. Pay scale is good.
Good luck man, I was laid off in Oct. of last year, struggled thru...and came out Ok in the end.

I composed a cover letter and attached my resume. I will follow up tomorrow afternoon with a phone call. I was impressed with their website, and it looks like lots of human contact is how they operate.
I have been busy networking, and sending my resume to targeted companies that are in the high tech arena.
I have my fingers crossed for some things "cooking" out of state. Details will follow when appropriate.

Dang Paulie, I think you took this hardship as well as you could! I think most people just slouch on the couch and try to get sympathy. Youre out there fighting the country for a job! Good way to keep your chin up bro! With that attitude and aggresion you are sure to get something good your way..
