I used to have a great job as an information systems coordinator at a aluminum facility plant. I was the only IT person in the entire plant. I took care of all things IT related. I recently lost the job due to conflicts of intrest. And have beenunemployed for about 2 months. I have been sending resumes out to local business', online web pages, etc. I cannot seem to find an IT job at all. I'm 20 years old I have quite a few certificates, I will graduate with an associates in LAN Technologyin Oct. and I have about 2 years experience in the field. What am I doing wrong?

Is it possible the "conflict of interest" is causing folks to steer away from you? Just a guess.

Check out area schools/school districts as well. I suggested this to someone on another board, too. The pay isn't quite as high as from an IT firm, but it's decent and you will probably get school holidays off (I love it when Xmas vacation and Spring Break roll around), barring system upgrades and emergency repairs. Couldn't hurt to contact an ROE (Regional Office of Education -- where county superintendents sit) and see if any of their offices are hiring folks.
