Looking For Work/Guidance

[Dennis Weaver]

Hi everyone,

Sorry to bother. I am fairly new to AtlantaMDF, and have been to a few of the meetings recently. I have a background in BI/data analysis/programming primarily using MS Access for an electronics company.

I was laid off last year due to a merger and have been looking to take my skills and talents to the next level in full enterprise platforms, namely SQL Server. I have worked with, studied countless hours and bought/read books concerning SQL Server and certification material, about T-SQL and SSRS for example, during my downtime unemployed. It is somewhat of a catch-22 with finding work however. Many companies understandably want people who already have years of professional experience with the SQL Server platform. I've been getting noticed and have had several interviews that go well on their own, but having a hard time getting my foot in any doors mainly with the niche platform experience I have.

It's been a struggle and I am trying to support my children through this. If anyone knows of even a entry level position where I might find an opportunity, or has any guidance, please let me know. I am a self starter, learn and adapt quickly, and have reporting and programming experience under challenging requirements. The level of work I have performed, pushing the limits of Access and cross-platform data management for a smaller company, is the level where most companies don't use Access to begin with and go to the next step up. If this makes sense.

I attached my current resume. Thanks for reading this.

Dennis,

 

Did you find anything yet?  I was going contact you and suggest we meet at the next MDF meeting, but I am not really interested in the topic this month.  Contact me if you are still looking.  We are looking for someone to write some etl and reports currently.  I understand your position and feel you might possible be a fit.  I don't mind mentoring to get someone up to speed.

 

We are located in Norcross off of Beaver Ruin Road.  You can see part of our profile at www.ezprints.com, but that is really just a small piece of what we do.  We are a printing fullfiller for companies like Disney Photopass, Smugmug, Lifetouch, Target, Kodac, and many more.  We are are working on a project right now to take our capabilites to a new level and need help.

 

If, you have any interest let me know, and I will set up an interview with you.

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin Sherrer

Kevin,

I'm currently still looking. I looked at the site. Very interesting!
So do you drop ship for the other companies, or how does this work?

I definitely want to know more about this project. Feel free to call
me anytime when you wish. My number: 770-296-2269. I'm primarily doing
job hunts so I'm fairly free anytime at the moment.

Thanks very much,
Dennis

Dinnis,

 

Thanks for getting back with me.  I am available to talk from just after 5:00 to 5:30.  I will answer your questions in your email when we talk.

Also, if you get this after that time or can't make it don't worry about it, I gave you a late notice.

Thanks for letting me know; I thought I had pulled the email address out.  And to all sorry for spamming with our conversation.  :-)

Hi, Dennis. Check out Northrop Grumman's web site. We currently do
contract work for the CDC. I think that there are positions
available.

Thanks...Chris
