OK peers, I am asking for help here and will pay good points for it! Can you offer any leads that will result in an interview for job? I am in Technical Support, level 3 helpdesk or Network Technician. I would need to be within 35 miles of NYC. Can you help?

I have a proven track record in Level 3 Technical support as a team player for network availability and performance uptime within the large Financial Services organizations located in NYC.

Pleae tell me that you're not such a pathetic loser that you actually feel asking IT staff for interviews is a good job finding method!

Gee.....can you work for me? Not. You'd probaly just ask someone else to turn up for work for you. Why can'tpeople generate the presentation skills to find work in this industry? Are IT social skills really as pathetic as they are made out to be?

i can see you grasping at straws here and I apologixe for insinuating you're a loser, I just can't get over the amount of skilled people who can't seem to find work, do you actually go and look? Or are you waiting for a job posting or something?

Comment from donmars on 7/30/03:
I anticipated comments like the one from answer number 2, ozmedia? Suitable name. I would prefer not to work for or with him, since he has no clue of doing anything different or "out of the box". Can you spell letalone define pompous? Oh yeah, I do cold calls also, hopefully you are unlisted.

I'm British of course I understand Pompous!

" can see you grasping at straws here and I apologize for insinuating you're a loser, "

As for thinking outside of the box, this is the best you can do? Ask a bunch of IT staff, many unemployed and seeking work, if they can help you find an interview. Why would ANYONE interview someone who can't even make their own cold calls and generate interviews? This isn't thinking outside the box, it's just lazy. Sorry, I'm not from NooYauk but I'm sure things MUST be different there.

Don't worry about cold calling me, your experience is unrelated to my needs. You're right, my number IS unlisted to avoid such calls.

Have alot of time on your hands, do you? Is it possible YOU have already lost right here?! Please respond with positive useful stuff.

Hey OzMedia,

Just when I was beginning to think of you differently (a little more favorably), you go and show your true colors - and they ain't pretty.

A person who intentionally antagonizes and insults others - when it's unwarranted and unjustified - surely has some emotional problems. You admittedly try to "push other people's buttons" just to get a rise out of them, and you continue to shown your mean-spiritedness towards people who deserve to be treated better. You should really try to find a more productive way to get your jollies. I'm going back to my original opinion of you - you're a jerk.

Donmars,

Sorry I don't have any potential leads for you. Good luck with your job search.

In addition, Oz, just because donmars posted this question doesn't indicate he hasn't - and isn't - exploring additional avenues. Moreover, he's been posting questions and answers around here a lot longer than you have, he's helped more people than you have (by answering hundreds of questions), and just maintaining the interest of kindness and brotherhood dictates that he should be treated with a little common courtesy. You just don't think very highly of anyone (or any country) other than yourself, do you? Too bad the rest of the world isn't as great and as perfect as you.

Thanks for the kind words and support Max. I am sure Ozmedia is probably an "OK" guy. It's possible that since we all have our limits (and problems) I have pushed him to his. I only regret that his limits appear to be so..., limited.

by oz_media

Thanks Max, youre' right. Just as you think you have me figured out, you find out your wrong. This is true of your latest statement too, but we can all pretend we can analyze someone based on written opinions.
I had apologized for my insulting comments but it is pretty sad to bribe your way into an interview no matter how cleverly you think you are using your resources.

I am not here to gain friends (probably a good thing)I am here to help people solve relevant issues and get help from others when I have problems. This isn't a job club but it seems to be used as such too often.

Thanks for the kind words,and welcome back, I've missed your participation and oh-so-clever analytical skills.

by oz_media

One day the world and it's people will be as smart and clever as me. Actually, I doubt it.
:-)
Not to worry, I'm off to Germany for the long weekend so you'll have some well deserved quiet time, I'll get to do the heavy metal thing and get it allout of my system. God damn pent up angst!

"he's been posting questions and answers around here a lot longer than you have, he's helped more people than you have (by answering hundreds of questions)"

This means nothing to me and shouldn't to anyone else. Many people have found websites before me, you also have no idea just how long I have been here and simply never bothered with more than checking out Tech Mail articles.
I assume that DONMAR had passed away at some point and was recently reincarnated with a different user name and stats or changed his name.

Sorry to drag you into this Donmar, but as Max's friend you must be used to seeing him defend others that he feels can't defend themselves. I actually thought your initial comments were more satisfying than Max's "articulate" spew. Touche

First, I am not issuing a bribe: "it is pretty sad to bribe your way into an interview", I am paying for leads then I can bribe the interviewer for the job. This is actually one of many WINNING American ways of doing business! It is somewhere between extreme capitalism and pure intimidation. As a loyal subject of the American Empire you should understand that Ozie. Anyway thanks for your attention to my post and your boot licking support in Iraq. ...Oh, er... Touche.
