The company I work for is hiring for our helpdesk again (we have a very low turnover rate, but we have a lot of people who advance FROM the helpdesk to other roles, hence why this is the second or third time I'm posting this).

I am the supervisor, and the manager is a VERY good guy to work/with for. The office is ABOVE union station, which makes a Metra commute painless.

Shoot me your resume if you are interested @ [email protected].

Your helpdesk folks need an awful lot of DB experience... :hsugh:

The data issues we encounter are just occasional orphaned records, so it's not like they need to write elaborate queries etc. The job description says that, but I can't recall the last time they hired someone that came in the door with SQL experience minus my father...

We have two new hires starting in 2 weeks, so this can be locked up :bigthumb:

Back up top!!! We have a new opening here downtown, and an old boss of mine is looking for IT Talent in the IVCC/Lasalle area. Not looking for IT Guru's, but someone with some networking experience would be Ideal (A++ Certs preferred etc) that has the drive to learn and work hard!
