My distress Signal!
« on: June 09, 2007, 12:43:27 PM »
 :eek:  Help.  I just found out that I am losing my job of almost 14 years at the end of this month.  Now I am on a desperate mission to find new employment.  I am looking for just about anything I can get in the IT field (and yes I would take a help desk job).  If anyone of you guys knows of a company that's hiring a PC tech or anything really, please send me some info!  I have a resume ready to fire off as well.  I live in York so i am looking in the York/Harrisburg area but am willing to travel up to 40 miles (less is better).  So please guys any help is appreciated!  thanks!
That's Mr. Deception to you.

And if you do end having to be a help desk jocky, Comcast has been hiring like crazy for the call center in York. I know help desk wouldn't be your first choice, but if it comes down to it....
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Yeah, I know and I am ready and willing to accept that type of position if I need to.  you wouldn't happen to have Comcast's York office HR or front desk number would you?

I emailed him at the xxx@fites.net address, is there another address I can reach him at?

That is the best for Pride.  However, from his earlier post, he is out of pocket this weekend.
