By now, some of you are working your job search plan, and you may be getting close to the point where you broaden your geography to include other cities.


Check out this article I ran across in CIO magazine.

This is the 10 hottest cities for IT jobs. Remember, there are lots of ways to use this information. You can find out who is hiring, research telework opportunities with them, live there just during the week, use it as a transitional job till something opens up close to home. It may not be convenient, but it looks (and pays) a whole lot better on the resume than Home Depot.

Good Luck.

PS - I have yet another server admin job I am getting ready to post, probably tonight ...
