For Long Island, have you read Newsday and the Career Builder Section, etc. Does it matter like nassau or suffolk. How about a big hospital like Stony Brook in Suffolk, big employers in suffolk are Computer Associates and Brookhaven National Lab. Nassau maybe cablevision, anyone that does govt. contracts etc. I dont know about the city too much. My friends are in different businesses there - construction, secretarial etc. Good luck in your job search.
