Hi....an update on my status. I am currently working as a contractor at Social Security Headquarters in Baltimore,MD, since Sept. 2008. Although it is great to be working again, I would like to find a similar position in IT in the NJ/NY area, where my family is.
If anyone is aware of a position in Mainframe Storage Administration, I would like to hear from you.
Also, Social Security has IT positions open for anyone willing to relocate to Baltimore.

My resume is attached.

PS.....I miss the CNG meetings!

Thanks,
Ed Powers
