IT/Job help....
My fiance and I will be moving to the Richmond area soon (from central PA) and I was just wondering if anyone could offer some job help. I'm currently an IT Support guy for Penn State University. I was hoping she would be able to get something closer to DC, because there is an abundancy of IT jobs there. But not the case. I did a quick search on indeed.com and didn't really see too many helpdesk/support jobs available in the Richmond area right now. So I was just hoping maybe someone on here worked at a place that may have some openings? Or know of something?
I actually would be open to doing other things unrelated to IT work, so long as the pay is decent. I'm a very fast learner and a damn good worker. I just need to get my foot in the door at a quality place that will allow me to actually advance. Basically any decent paying job within driving distance of Richmond would be great.
So if anyone has anything they can think of I would be very grateful. Thanx.

I am currently just your basic helpdesk support guy. I know some programming, but probably not enough to be a programmer. I know html, some php and some .net.

I don't want to hijack your thread as I might be relocating to WV (morgantown area.) I also didn't want to take recruiters' information from on here without asking the people that posted them and at least having names to use as sources (vs. saying I got it off a car forum.)
Graduate in computer systems; have worked as a sys admin for the last 2.5 yrs at a healthcare facility. Implemented electronic medical records, manage interfaces between various applications, manage multiple servers / disaster recovery / network, etc. I designed the network from scratch and personally directed the installation of everything in place now. I would like something in the same vein / industry but will take what I can get. I might be a tad underpaid right now, don't know (50k) but it's pretty good for the area we're in now. My wife makes considerably more and if we move she'll be making up to .25 times more than what she's making now so I could take a less paying position if I had to. I know there are a lot of military positions and would love to snag one, but I can't get security clearance (not a citizen yet...have another 8 months to go).
If any of you guys that posted recruiters' info. care to shoot me pms, I would really appreciate it.
