Thanks for your advice. It isn't helpful that I am not loaded with contacts. This just continues to make me feel stuck.
************************************************************** My BIL to me,
Building a network takes time. Do things that will help you build your network.

Of course the problem is where I work isn't loaded with much interaction with people to network with. We are pretty secluded to what we do.
Ok, so frusturation is getting to me a bit here. I am basically stuck unless I somehow luck out and make a contact with the right person. Nice. I guess I will buy a lotto ticket.

Google. Keyword search: Dallas + IT Networking Events + 2010
DO NOT SAY YOU CAN'T FIND ANYTHING AS I JUST DID THIS SEARCH AND FOUND EVENTS SCHEDULED THROUGH SEPT. 2010.
I thought using resources to find solutions and opportunities was something you would strive to do?
It NEVER dawned on you to use the largest search engine in the world to possibly see what is out there in in the very large metro area you live in? Seriously?

Sorry to say that no, I didn't think about that.

I also added in "+ Business Analyst" with what you wrote and that is bringing up some pretty good stuff.
Thank you,

Let me get this straight. You want to further your career in IT but it never dawned on you to search the INTERNET and use INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY to find out how to do that?
I think you need to find a C that can help you learn the foundation of basic problem solving and solution skills.
It didn't dawn on me to use the internet to find networking events that could assist in this. The only thing I was thinking was talk to agencies and see if something can land. Sometimes I hit a wall when I get frusturated.

I have to step back and take a bit of time and reanalyze the situation sometimes.

So while you were whining about being stuck and needed the luck of the lotto to make your career better since you have no network or business contacts *I* did a quick Google and found some potential ways to build a network in Dallas.
Note. I do not live in Dallas and have no desire to be in IT.
There is never any reason to be stuck or think you are stuck unless you choose to stay stuck. While you were complaining you were stuck I was finding SOLUTIONS. Ponder that.
