Changes
2001: with the downturn in the market that started the previous year, there were plenty of unemployed tech-heads... but I survived.
2004: I join the ranks of the unemployed. 7+ years on the job - that's long enough, one way or another.
More later.
(Anyone want to hire a network engineer? CCIE, too.... :-)

Russ - use this email, send us a resume'. Both Beth and I work for tech firms that use virtual employees and are expanding, not contracting.
No guarantees, but hey, if you don't ask the answer is no, right?

I'm sorry to hear about your setback. With as much tech "stuff" that goes on in the Triangle, I'm optimistic that you will get several opportunities to choose from. A Cisco "master" should be a valuable member of any network team.

Russ, I've no idea what part of the country you're in, or if you're willing to relocate, but Lexis-Nexis has some technical openings.
Go to http://www.lexis-nexis.com/employment and there's a search & apply for open positions option.
Good luck!

Are you anywhere near greater Los Angeles? Boeing, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman are hiring.

Nice blog, BTW. I came over from Misha's place in a hurry, because he said you were looking for job leads. Now that I've had a chance to look around, I see you're in North Carolina. You lucky, lucky man! You'd be out of your mind to pull up stakes for the hellhole that is southern California. (Mind you, I love it here, but it's still a hellhole. Los Angeles and I have what you might call a dysfunctional co-dependent relationship.)
Good luck with the job hunt. You might check the Web sites of the above-mentioned large defense contractors anyway, just to see what they have by way of job openings. I hope something pans out for you soon!

Rats, I hate it when I forget to close my tags! Sorry about that.

I kind of get a thrill when a girl accidentally leaves one of her tags undone...
