‘Your event was a great way for me to get acquainted with local companies and meet them in person.’

Earlier this year, a reader named Ben Garrison who had just moved to Baltimore sent us this note:

“Hi Technical.ly Team, I wanted to reach out and let you know that I found a couple of great work opportunities during your recent NET/WORK event in February in Baltimore – thanks for putting on a great job fair! I just finished my first week full time at one of these opportunities (PaRaBal, Inc), after accepting an offer within two weeks of the event. I’m a recent transplant to Baltimore, so your event was a great way for me to get acquainted with local companies and meet them in person.”

We followed up with him in October, six months later, to hear more about his job:

“My official title is Director – Mobility Solutions Architect. I lead a team of technical consultants that provides services to companies looking to implement mobile devices in their corporation, to enable employee productivity and secure corporate data. … In addition to this I serve both as a project manager for all of PaRaBaL’s engagements, and as a Subject Matter Expert for Enterprise Mobility Management solutions.”

“It’s a been a great fit for me,” he wrote to us.
