Hi Folks, I worked with Eileen Barkow at NYC DOITT (Data Center). Everything she says is absolutely true. You can't believe it when you're hired there. Every piece of bureaucracy appears so ridiculous, and that's the way it really works there. It's not like "industry" at all. I went there during a recession also, in '92, and when you need a job, you need a job. I was glad to have it (warts and all). I stayed for five years. I'll tell you, that I don't have time to go into the kind of details they have. When you get your acceptance, if you're a minute late (within the 30 minute tolerance time of the appointment time) you're not hired. This is after two months or more, of waiting. When I had to go there, I got onto the wrong path train from Jersey City, and wound up in Newark. I then had to wait for a train to go all the way back (past Jersey City again) to the World Trade Center (of blessed memory) and I ran to the office where I had to be. When I got there, making excuses after all that effort (and having called them, from phone booths, as much as I could), the lady told me: "Oh, you don't have to worry. You were four minutes early." Everything Eileen says is true. She was there way before me, and she's been there way after me. Attagirl, Eileen. It's nice to hear from you. I wouldn't think Nevada is that bad. It's not New York City. But I don't know for sure. If you need the job, take it. Don't sweat the details. All the best of everything to all of you.
