Draconator Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Yahoo had another round of mass layoffs today, and I was caught up in it. I worked in Incident Management. So if anyone knows of a job lead in that, please let me know. Thanks. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 First of all that sucks, and best of luck. I've been there. Define incident management. Was it working for HR with accusations or something involving like that? The reason I ask is I worked for a ARC down here in management (Finance) and we we had a incident/quality department. A lot of was investigations of allegations of abuse of clients. I would think the ARC of Erie or People Inc would be good places to check out and see what they have. Same with hospitals, nursing homes and that type. Like I said best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incident Management is where something happens, usually an engineer makes a change that breaks something, and it degrades the performance of the product. Be it a website, news feed, etc. Incident Management is contacted, and we work with other engineers who can fix the issue, or work with the original engineers to revert the change they made to the last known working instance. We then schedule post-mortems for higher-priority incidents to discuss what went wrong and what steps can be taken to prevent the mishap from happening again.

BillsPride12 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Sorry to hear about that dude.

Saxum Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 I have gone thru that @Draconator and my advice is make sure you have some good references who know what jobs you are trying to get and can talk up right points. I have got leads in past from some of the banks in Buffalo but they wanted people already living in WNY area even if someone was not looking for moving expenses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a bunch of people reach out to me, asking for my resume, and sending it along to their company hiring managers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 networking and personal contacts are always the best. God bless you brother. In Cali you can input your resume to the city OR county and its own system will report back to you when positions are available you may be qualified for. Job openings they post. I don't know if such a system exists in NYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear the news, good luck with the job search. I work in IT but for a very small company. I've never heard of Incident Management - sounds like a pipe dream for us. What you described sounds like it has tentacles into areas like business/requirements analysis, project management, tech support, etc. (all areas where we struggle as a small org). Might be opportunities to bring your experience from a large org like Yahoo to a smaller org. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's something good to this it will give you probably some much needed downtime and apply for unemployment benefits if you hadn't done so already. But yeah it sucks. I have more stuff at my age to put on my resume but truly my whole projective would be: A Job that minimizes human interaction as much as possibly along with unnecessary nonsense. best of luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
