i might can help you. im not in the 757 area. my boss is looking for another team member. im in alexandria tho

I'm in Hampton. We're now hiring at the moment, but in the summer is the best time to check.

Oh and check Verizon.com. They have a call center in NN supporting the customers calling in. The people make bank though, up to $23 an hour.

for you guys in the va area , did you go to a school or just studied the certification books ? i was wondering because every school/training center in the areais expensive and offer no payment plan. Also if i was just shooting to get my foot in the door as a help desk person what would be the best classes to take ?

word. my company now requires you to have at least your CCNA to get hired. i got in before that was required but i have CCNA knowledge and then some. sais, why not go for your CCNP or CCIE? guessing you're looking to get more into the voice side of things?ake.

I'm going for the NP after the VP then i should be bulletproof in the game. CCIE and i will be making it hurricane in the clubs i suppose butI'm saving that til like end of next year. I should have VP and NP by this year. That IE is no joke ! I just went the voice route first because i deal withVOIP right now, i always had in my mind to get both. Just was in what order i would attack them.
