How do I know this because I was extremely close to landing a GS11 position in Norfolk with the USMC, I was the best "qualified" candidate that applied for the position, plus I had veterans preference, hell I was working for the the USMC at the time, why didn't I get it?? because an E-9 decided to retire, figured he wanted the position and was pretty much just given it... even though in the last 5+ years he had done NOTHING technical, just parade planning and retirement ceremonies... its bull shit.



The best site to get contractors to call you is monster.com, Dice.com, and careerbuilder.com. Hell if you really want, I can PM you my companies contact information and let them know I directed you to them. They are out of NoVA, but I have worked for them for almost a year now... in that time frame I went from Tier 2 Local field services, to Tier 3 Remote Access work... so it's not hard to do. Hell get on the helpdesk for 6 months to a year and you can move up the ladder fairly quickly... I don't have a degree or any certs, I am working off 4 years USMC experience and 1 year contracting... as long as you can learn quick and you aren't a rock... you'll be all set.
yea that would be great if you could PM me some info about your company. I have been trying to get my foot in the door with at least a help desk job or something in the computer field forever but they all wanted me to have my degree first. Right now I can't be picky, I just need some cash lol but if I can land a help desk job or something that would be awsome.

Yea man I will PM you in a couple minutes... just make sure you make up a nice resume with some strong points and even if you don't have any IT experience, make sure you clearly point out that you are a quick learner, have a strong desire to work on the IT field, and are actively working to get a degree in the computer industry. I will email my boss and let him know that you may be contacting him.

I see you are working on a degree in networking... Any knowledge of web hosting? Any experience with sales? What kind of schedule are you looking for? PM me.
