I started IBM in 1976 and its the best decision I could have made. We worked as a team and we were like one big family. In my opinion it was the best company in the world to work for. I worked 32 years for IBM.

Teamwork ! Wherever the workload may take us on any given day, we ALL got the job done TOGETHER ! I miss that.

IBM was a excellent company when I joined. Left in 1961 with an early out and retired..

It’s only the beginning for several graduates, taking a plunge into the deep end of the job pool. But there is hope, despite a workforce and economy that are in recovery in central #Texas.

“There were over 5,800 job opportunities posted in the Austin metro area in the last 30 days,” Career Awareness Project Coordinator with Workforce Solutions Jessica Garay said.

That’s up nearly 2,300 jobs since this time last year, according to Workforce Solutions. According to Garay, more than 2,000 of those positions do require a bachelor’s degree.

Garay also said these job opportunities range in skills and field:

• Registered Nurses (604)
• Sales Representatives (298)
• Customer Service Representatives (208)
• Baylor Scott and White, Walgreens, H-E-B
• Retail Workers (224)
• First-Line Supervisors of Retail Workers (223)
• Maintenance and Repair Workers (135)
• LVNs (116)
• Human Resources Specialists(101)

Employers hiring in those areas include:

• Deloitte
• St. David’s HealthCare
• UT
• Ascension
• Accenture
• Texas Dept. of Public Safety
• City of Austin
• IBM

Occupations strictly asking for a four-year degree and less than two years’ experience ranged from RNs, sales, software developer, human resources specialists, market research analysts, marketing specialist and manager positions.

“Workforce Solution Capital Area has a ton of really great resources and career case managers that are always available to help job seekers in our area,” Garay said.

I would like to work for IBM again if there is any possibility of working with them in United States as I m in United States studying for my MBA degree.

Don't do it. It is a very unpleasant place to work at where you will never be appreciated.
