DrFishfinder Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Well, the company I was working for just laid me off today. They lost their flagship $800k/year account and had to cut expenses. And since it's a family run company and I'm the only non family member in my position, guess what? I have a technical background, CTT+ (Certified Technical Trainer-CompTIA), Access Control Systems, CCTV Systems (DVR & IP based), etc. I worked for Modular Computer Systems (Modcomp) for 18 years...real time process control systems. I worked for CASI-RUSCO which became part of GE Security for 6 years with Picture Perfect Access Control. The last 7 years I've been in system design, sales and project management for CCTV (mostly IP now), Access Control and Remote Guarding Systems (VideoQ...and I'm VideoIQ certified as well), plus I know Axis stuff very well. You get the picture. If anyone has any referrals or ideas or help, I would sincerely appreciate it. I'll send you my resume. I need to get re-employed and FAST so I'm not cherry picking. Thanks everyone, PFS

Then start shopping it around with your resume. Try this place, Commercial Systems Group, they don't have any openings listed, but security is all just making relays do what you want. Simplex is another one if you like being tracked as you work. I have no connection with either company I mentioned.
DrFishfinder Posted July 16, 2011 Author Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Any luck yet? Got some interviews going, Mead. A little too soon to tell. Thanks for asking, amigo!

DrFishfinder Posted July 17, 2011 Author Posted July 17, 2011 Very risky; you open yourself up to liability for misappropriating trade secrets. No way I would even entertain the idea.
