Hey guys, I have been on these forums for a while now and I was wondering if some one can help. I just moved from NOVA to SOCAL and I love it down here. Although, I have been looking for a job for the past four days but nothing serious. I have a lot of knowledge in Networking as you will see in my Resume. Sorry to start this post but any help will be great to keep my EVO.

Thanks

Here is my Resume

Welcome to SoCal! I'm an ex NoVA'er who recently moved out here also. I've been in town here in CA for about a month now. It rocks here!

So where in SoCal are you living? Or is that still up in the air?

I'm in OC....I can certainly check out my companies job listing. I work in the Pharm industry. We have lots of IT folks who run the pc networks and the study equipment networks.

SC~

 

what do you work for alliegance?

 

Great, I am in Santa Barbara right now, but I will be moving to OC in the next 2 weeks or so. If you can get me into some interview we will have to EVOS in the parking lot.

Thanks

 

I dont, but do you mean allegiance?

 

Bumb

 

Bumb

 

i was referring to secret chimp, he said he worked for a pharm company in OC, i was assuming allegiance since they are in irvine.

 

oh, Sorry

 

Bumb

 

Oh, you were talking to me....

I work in Costa Mesa at a place called Valeant. They are on the cusp of releasing some Hepatitis B and C medications.....that'll be billion dollar a year products. I am the main point of contact for the FDA for my products. I also write/compile/send lots of technical info to the FDA and health agencies abroad to keep other drugs on the market. It's boring. But it pays the bills and lets me play cars as much as I want.

SC~

 

so you work in regulatory affairs?

 

bump

 

Yep....I'm a Sr RA Spec. You obviously know something about the industry. You do pharm work too?

 

almost. i work for Hudson Respiratory Care in temecula. I am a plastics engineer, i design and mold polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, and other assorted plastics for cannulas, facemasks, rebreathers, nebulizers, and all the other things you wear regarding aeration and passageway breathing. We have to adhere to the same FDA regs and SOP's as you guys.
