Let me get this straight. You want to further your career in IT but it never dawned on you to search the INTERNET and use INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY to find out how to do that?
To quote Hank Hill, "Don't they have that internet on computers now?"

You are right. I was just hitting a mental wall out of frusturation and not thinking it through the best I could.

What it all boils down to is you to CHOOSE to let frustration take over instead of good sense.
Goal: When I feel frustration taking over I will stop and think of five potential solutions at once instead of whining and convincing myself I am stuck.
Yes kevin I agree 100% with BIL...LinkedIn is also a great place to make contacts...Find a senior level BA or PM and just call them, tell them what your looking for and I bet 9 times out of 10 they'll talk to you...That's how I learned about IT positions when I knew nothing, just called people to ask questions...Most people love to talk about what they do and how they became successful.

"We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems."
VD just gave you the same advice many people gave you months ago. Find somebody in a postion you would like to one day obtain and talk to them about it.
I know that is what I was told before. I guess I was just trying to find a way to incorporate something more on the resume to make it stand out more.
It seems like what you all have said really is the only road to go right now. I guess I better start learning how to network better. The google search is a great way to start.
SM,
foxes and rabbits? Seriously? Wasn't this analysis already answered by SG or did I miss something there?

You went right for the "something more" before you did anything to build a foundation. You asked for advice on this same topic some time ago and essentially got the same advice the second time around. Both times you went for the "something more" before you did the basic steps.
Do you think this is a healthy pattern?
Do you see how this pattern spills over in every aspect of your life?
