You know, I think the job issue really has to do with the unemployment rate. That's probably the reason why you're having such a hard time finding work. There is a lot of competition out there right now for every job. I'm sure it's really discouraging, but keep at it...maybe be persistent, call the places up after you submit an application and ask them if they've considered your application yet....

Computer security is a great field to get into in the IT industry right now. It's something most companies aren't comfortable about outsourcing to India and it pays well. Keep up the learning...maybe get some experience you can put on a resume!

yeah, the unemployment rate in IT the past couple years has been HUGE! and the results of that are showing too, just look at the massive increase in serious viruses and trojans in the last 2 years. cutting back in IT staff is only making things worse but companies have a hard time associating the maintenance and monitoring of computers and networks as actual work. management tends to view computers as something that should just keep working as it should with no maintenance as long as the hardware doesn't break. somehow we still can't get people to see that software is no different than a very complex machine which in order to keep operating needs to have regular maintenance and upkeep, or things will slowly break down over time. i'm hoping that with microsoft's new focus on security that people will become more aware of the importance of having capable IT personel on staff and make the same dedication to "doing things right ( ... )

If it's any consolation, I applied to 18 places and didn't get a single call-back :(

Anyway, good luck finding something. Who knows, maybe the next application will be your last :D (and I mean that in a good way!)
