My position is being eliminated Oct 31 2008 and Jobs and employment in my area of expertise are very scarce. I noticed that there is a high demand for IT related positions at brokerages in the areas of Help desk, trade floor, operations support. Years ago i completed A+ and Network+ at a computer school in Manhattan. unfortunately I never used or utilized those skills. I'm wishing now that I had.But its never too late to start something. Please let me know what course you suggest that I take that would help me land a job in the brokerage industry supporting trading activities.
My plan right now is to increase my knowledge in SAP Sales and distribution, Inventory, recociliation. P&L Reports, and pivot tables.
I also want to finish my A+ and Network + certifacation.
Anyone know of any operations trade support jobs in the NYC metro area???
