In reply to the discussion: I just got laid off. [View all]EverHopeful
(168 posts)68. at all interested in a daily commute to NYC?
Here's a link to a discussion about the commuting options:
http://www.city-data.com/forum/philadelphia/12246-does-anyone-commute-philly-nyc.html
It sounds like some of the options take less time than many of my current colleagues' commutes but I know a long commute isn't everybody's cup of tea.
If you're interested, I can pass your resume on to HR. Nothing is currently listed for IT but there is a listing that might be what you're looking for. Please forgive my ignorance if this has nothing to do with what you do. It says: Senior Programmer / Analyst CRM, SharePoint and XML.
I'll keep watching the job postings on our intranet and see if any come up for our IT department.

In the past I didn't have a lot of luck with either of those, but I'll try again.

Good advice! And you'll be employed in the meantime. Employers don't like to hire the unemployed.

Yeah, my resume's pretty well refined (and uses language like you suggested).
