RssCareer-Driven, Shared Services Professional

I was recently laid-off and am looking to continue my career in, (what was recently) a Windows Support and Implementations capacity. I'm looking for a work culture that fosters individual AND team growth. I would enjoy a position that a sense of autonomy but also provides interation and feedback from a group of professionals. It's important for me to find an organization that has a sense of direction and is stable...sometimes that can be difficult to find.
