IassaFTots, know anyone looking for someone on the level of a VP of Product Development (degree Industrial Design)?   :-) 

Actually we can't move for another 18 months or my husband has to pay back the money they used to bribe him with to move.  :whatever:

I don't off the top of my head, but I may know someone that does, and I will ask around.

Worth a shot...thanks anyway. I am in the process of learning computer programming languages for a career change. I've been looking for entry-level work, but all of it requires a Bachelors in Computer Science. If you get any leads in either department let me know.

God Bless.  I know what you mean.  The only person I know who was a Chemist is now in real estate.  My boyfriend is a former professional brewer, and is now a machinist.  He is getting his Unix Admin Certification to get out of that.  The majority of people I know are all in the Dallas/FW area, and well the way the market is, I doubt employers are paying any relo.  I will ask around.. Where are you?  Although the people I know work locally, some work for national firms, so there might be something where ever you are.

Oh Crap D6.  I seem to recall you just started one?  That so sucks.  And it sucks for BC and CS and all y'all. 

Just damn. 

I know lots of recruiters, if anyone wants to move to Big D.  Aside from that, the only thing I can do is say it sucks. 

They looking for people at TXU or Commanche Peak?

I know.  Being laid off would be better in the summer when the weather is nicer, though, wouldn't it?

Heh, been there... I've been on unemployment since last March.

I have family all over the state of Texas, especially in the DFW area, so relocation is definitely not an issue. I live in Austin currently, but I would be very open to a change of venue if it was a good opportunity to break into the computer industry.

Thanks for taking the time to answer me on this issue.

God Bless,

No problem.  I will ask around.  That part is the easy one anyway.   :-)

Oh well, just found out my company lost the funding for the contract position I was hoping to fill. But I'm good on phase II extended unemployment through April, and if the unemployment rate is high enough in that quarter, have a phase III extension of another 13 weeks. Assuming the federal govt. does not continue to pass extensions, once all federal funds run out, there is still a state of VT extension for 13 weeks.
