Seeking Help with Offices to Visit or People to Contact about IS/T Opportunities in DFW
Posted on 2/25/19 at 6:20 pm
Posted on 2/25/19 at 6:20 pm
I'm a recent college graduate that has a MS in Management Information Systems and a BS in Math. I've been thinking of relocating to Texas for over a year and began passively hunting for jobs in DFW in the latter half of last year. I have been actively job hunting for IS/T jobs in DFW online for about the past 2 months with little success. I have been adjusting my resume and have tried different methods of finding jobs online.
I'm interested in information systems administration (particularly CRM or ERP), business analysis, and process analysis.
I've got relevant degrees for but not employment experience in software engineering, data analysis, or data science. I don't have the certifications, security clearances, or employment experience for cybersecurity and information assurance. The career areas in this paragraph aren't among my primary interests, but I'll soon be looking for jobs in the the first 3 since my current location isn't a good personal fit for me, and I want to be in DFW by Memorial Day weekend.
I will be spending about a week in DFW soon and could use some advice or info on legitimate staffing agencies, employers, career fairs, etc. that could help me land interviews or an acceptable IS/T job. Thanks!

Do you have any friends or relatives in the Dallas area? If so, use a Dallas address on your resume (or dont use one at all) and changed your LinkedIn acct to Dallas area.

If your so smart why come your asking us?

SanFranTiger: I do have blood relatives in the Dallas area and have been reluctant to create a LinkedIn account. In your experience, do potential employers generally attempt to verify residency with employment? Both of my recent degrees and jobs are all from Alabama. Thanks for the tip.
dbeck: I'm not boasting. I apologize if my opening post came off as conceited or boastful. I am humble and genuinely want help.

Don't use indeed.com. They post inaccurate information per someone I know who works in HR.
Evidently they get calls all the time from people who said they applied for jobs on indeed.com. And the jobs that are posted on indeed.com sometimes puts a higher salary than the job is really offering.

Indeed doesn't always list salary on the job opening, but you can search the company for reviews and previous wages that were reported - on indeed.

kind of surprising to hear you haven't landed a job already

Create a LinkedIn account.
And no but most employers find employees by sourcing from LinkedIn, Indeed, etc and they’ll usually source by location

Those salaries are estimates by Indeed, not salaries listed by the employer. Employers dont really do that

Has strict hiring requirements for students fresh out of school.
Once he has a few years under his belt it wouldn't be an issue.

Might have to take a lesser job to get you into the industry for a few years then use that experience to get the job that you want.
I know most of the Carriers (VZW/ATT/TMO) are hiring for cloud right now, so are we I believe (Nokia).
It may not be the exact thing you want to do but it gets your foot in the door.
Check some of the data centers along the DNT though.
