IT jobs in Orlando area or Orange County (home, military)

[Starr2009]

We are still desperately wanting to return to Florida. My husband is retired from the Navy and has a degree in IT. Can anyone here recommend any companies he should investigate? Thanks!

"A degree in IT" says nothing. What specifically is he capable of doing? Is he a programmer, and if so with which languages? A systems analyst? A network engineer? A DBA? Hardware, software, what?

What experience does he have other than military applications? If he's only worked within the military spectrum, he might try companies that do government contracting.

Keep in mind that a lot of I/T people have been laid off in the past six months in this area, and most employers prefer local candidates. Careerbuilder is a good place to begin--I've seen a lot of local I/T jobs listed there.

great answer, i'm in IT and as i've mentioned likely moving later in the year...
a degree in IT doesn't say anything, you need to know specific skills, possibly many of them to get a job nowadays..
