Title: Hey, NY-Bore. Anyone have any tech job leads?
Post by: Eric P on September 04, 2008, 08:28:17 AM
I'm trying to get out of my job and out of DC and am combing craig's list and various other places in an attempt to find gainful employment in NYC and since we have a few members in NYC, I figured it would be worth checking just to see if anyone had any leads or connections.

I do networking, voip, telecom stuff.

plz pm if you can help.

Wish I could help, but good luck. My dad actually works in networking, but it's out here on the island.

by amazing coincidence i went through a phone screening with the CEO of a company who currently does broadband solutions but is looking to add a VoIP/IPBX product to be a sales engineer/broadband support.  It went very well.  I think we're going to try to interview and hopefully I can get the job fairly quickly.

Nice going.
I'm not so crazy about DC myself that I'd give you shit about leaving.  I don't plan to stay here forever...

thanks

i'm teaching myself how to use a version of the product now so i can ask any specific technical questions.  it's trixbox ce running in vmware player, but i'm not savvy enough with the CLI to get it doing anything on my own yet.  but i have plenty of time to take a look
