Jobs.. :)

[Ian MacDonald]

You were tempted by those Zurich Jobs as well. I have been looking for =
a
few months for a Unix role (ISP or Banking) in London or south east.
There is virtually nothing out there. Some of the jobs advertised even
disappeared after the Agencies submitted CV's.

There are whispers about a pickup in late August. I do hope so.

Ian.

Well, in my recent experience, the UNIX/Internet/ISP job market right
now is=20
dead. I've never seen it so dead. I'm kinda looking at the moment as
well,=20
but only because I have to. Since coming back from a job in the
Falklands=20
in March I've been enjoying myself lazing around too much to be too
commited=20
to wanting to go back to a normal job. Still, I know around Manchester
there=20
is virtually nothing. Anything that does come up gets 10+ applicants =
and
the=20
job goes in hours providing the pay is more than =A325k pa. Ho-hum. =
Last
week=20
I was looking at re-locating to Zurich for crying out loud...
