Wow dan, must be nice to have the time to read all that :P I could rant about how hard it is to find a job when you don't have much verifiable experience.... But instead I put together a website which has links to everywhere that I'm watching. So if anyone is in central Florida and looking for a job point your shiny rectangle here: HTTP://www.jasonpruim.com/jobsearch

Don't forget the invaluable resource that is CraigsList. For you, specifically:

       http://orlando.craigslist.org/

There's also Dice (http://www.dice.com/), but that's more for specifically tech-oriented jobs, and most require a degree in the field. Keep your eyes open for technical support positions with telecommunications carriers --- particularly local or regional phone companies and ISP's. It's a relatively-stable job market, and there are call centers all over the country, some with VOIP setups allowing one to work from his/her own home. As for the 911 dispatcher's job, I never did hear from the Sheriff's office or the County Com-Center about you, so it's an adequate amount of time just to check in and "see if [they] have any other questions," without being too pushy.... but don't call 911 to do it! ;-P

I just had my interview with them today. They are starting the background check right now. You mean calling 911 isn't a good way to get in touch with them? :P
