   Does anyone out there know of any inside ways to get a job in the Cap
   Dist? [academic data deleted] So far, the whole engineering job search
   has been quite disappointing (not just the cap dist)

You might contact the folks at the Center for Economic Growth in Albany
(465-8975). Ask them if

    they have any lists of small technical companies they could make available
    to you

    programs related to recruiting

    have a list of local recruiting firms

    know of any resume posting services

In theory, they aren't in the recruiting business, but they are interested
in keeping local companies growing and staying in the region. Part of that
means hooking up the labor force with the people who have jobs to offer.

You might also try posting your resume to appropriate capdist or rpi groups,
although I suspect most Cap Dist companies aren't wired. I'm all for
creating a list of Capital District technical firms (engineering, computer,
etc). Anybody else want to participate?

As an aside, what's the difference between capdist.misc and capdist.general?
Isn't one or the other enough?
