always updating sometimes some tech positions but if in a bind they have health care day 1 and offer tuition reimbursment
My buddy works in IT at vanguard. I'll see if there are any openings and maybe forward your resume to him.

I know JnJ has a corporate wide hiring freeze (at least for most of their companies). Economy is tough.

Good luck Will. We'll keep an eye out for ya

Will-

One of my neighbors is a Senior IT Manager at Vanguard, who hires directly. I'll PM my email to you....send your res to me and I can fwd to his Vanguard email address.

Tough luck.....don't forget to apply for Unemploy Comp....eases the sting. In PA, you can now do it all online. Perhaps you're also getting some severance and/or out-placement assistance?

In the interim, perhaps you can accelerate completing your MBA at Rider

Thanks Jerry. That's the fall back plan (GA-ship at Rider to get 2 classes paid for). NJ has the unemployment online as well, which I filed the night I found out I was being laid off.

I really appreciate all the suggestions and help from everyone. Thanks so much.

Hey Will, I emailed my buddy at Vanguard today. I'll PM you with what he says.

Bump for Will to see if anyone else can help him out

Will - have you heard anything from ARI? If not continue to send in your resume until you hear back from them.

Will, sorry to hear the news, we aren't fairing much better at our company (the days are numbered)...but as I am searching I'll keep you in mind as the hunt goes on. I'll PM you anything I see that fits well.

Good Luck my S2ki Big Brother
