1086.0. "Job Hunting" by SUBWAY::RSMITH (Rozanne Smith DTN 352-2366) Tue Jun 18 1991 20:52

Help!!!

In October 1990, I joined Digital as a Software Specialist III in New York PSS.

Due to a lack of business opportunities + present and near future needs of PSS,
I have been informed by my manager that I should look for another assignment
within Digital. 

My expertise is in system management, with experience in performance tuning and 
computer facility operations.  I have programming and consulting experience in 
the full software life-cycle, and both software and hardware troubleshooting.  
Possible fits would be in sales support, consulting, or (with some training) 
field service.

Does anyone know of an area that is hiring.  Though I will consider relocating, 
it must be near a orthodox community with a kollel as my husband is still in 
yeshiva.

Being new to Digtal, I have not yet built an extensive network of contacts; any 
pointers are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    Look in OASS::JOBS notes file.  There are a number of opening you
    qualify for.  This posts openings before they appear in the official
    jobs book.  It is how I found my current job.   You usually reply by
    sending an electronic cover letter and resume.  If the hiring manager
    and the personnel rep are both listed, try to deal with the hiring
    manager directly for better results.
    
    If they give a DTN, you can look up the first 3 numbers in the printed
    Digital directory to get the location, starting on page vi.  If they
    give a site code, you can get the location on page 418-422.
    
    There is also a New York notes file, SUBWAY::NEWYORK.  It
    doesn't get much action, but I would post my request there.  There are
    notes file for a number of other geographical locations, wherein you
    can post your request.  They are listed in TURRIS::EASYNET_CONFERENCES,
    reply 2.17.  They include Florida, San Francisco Bay Area, etc.
    
    In JOBS, you can also place your resume.  Prefix the entry title with
    INT: which indicates you are an internal transfer.
    
    In Digital, your interpersonal network is very important.  Don't be shy
    about reaching out to people, including coworkers, people you've met at
    classes or conferences, previous instructors, etc.  One hand washes the
    other.  Someday you may do THEM a favor.  An easy way to help others is
    by putting them on a distribution list for valuable information you
    receive, which they may not get.  They may not be thrilled about your
    "junk mail", but will readily let you know if they want to be removed
    from your list.  Many people will appreciate it, if you send them
    things they don't get otherwise.  For instance, you could send
    informatin about tools or techniques developed in New York.
    
    Good luck
