Preferably within 40miles of Brandon FL.

I have Cisco IOS, 3com routing/switching experience.

Some Linux administration experience, though I've never deployed any networks on my own.

Lots of MS deployment experience within a company called Intellisite. Also tech support and administration through same company.

Looking for something entrylevel-esque.

And with STABLE hours. I don't care if its day, evening or night, as long as it's the same hours everyday.

Thanks.

verizon is constantly hiring. when i was there, it was 40hrs+overtime, $12/hr. sometimes sucks, (piss poor management, asshole employees, required half lunches, etc...), but thats kinda run of the mill with that kinda position.

I've tried Brighthouse/Verizon, etc in the past and never received any word.

What's the secret? Call and bug them?

I have no certifications and no friends in the industry down here.

I have half of my CCNA (Intro), need to complete my ICND test then I'll have the CCNA. Not that that's spectactular.

I would re-word that...it took me several times to fully 'Understand' what you meant, and you have to realize that most people only give your resume 1 'glance'.

Well, looking at your res, I think that you would be a good candidate for one of a couple positions we have over here at Network Operations Center in Brandon for Brighthouse.

I am a Network Administrator and we are looking for both an Admin 1 and an Admin 3. You could try for the Admin 3, Admin 1 even starts you off with a Very competetive salary, outstanding benefits and one helluva good team.

Check things out here: http://tampabay.mybrighthouse.com/site/Careers/CareerOpportunities/hillsborough.cfm

And you can PM me for any more details. Salary, benefits, etc....

We are looking to fill these positions by the end of the month.
