Hi Guys,
How are you finding the IT Jobs Market at the moment?
I keep reading mixed stories in the press each day; some people are saying that IT Jobs are recession proof whilst others are advising us to stay-put in our current jobs as now is not the time to move.
I absolutely hate where I am working at the moment and I thought all my birthdays had come at once when the company asked last week if anyone would be willing to take voluntary redundancy. They are offering a fairly decent package to leave so I was thinking that this would be a great opportunity to jump ship and have a few months break whilst looking for a new job but I don’t want to make a mistake and end up still unemployed in 3 months time.
I have been looking around all of the relevant IT Job Sites like
CWJobs,
JobServe, and
Monster and although they all seem to still be full of
IT jobs but sometimes I find it hard to believe that these are all real jobs and not just recruitment agencies looking to fill their databases as even when I apply for a new job that is an exact match for my skills and salary and in a perfect location I normally don’t hear anything back.
Maybe it’s just me!!!
Any advice chaps?
Ian
