    Hello out there fellow piggs – I am finding it IMPOSSIBLE to find work in IT and I wonder if anyone out there that reads this blog, knows of ANYONE that has obtained a new job in IT this year ?

    I have been in IT for about 20 years and have seen my share of downtimes, (i.e. worked at start-ups that imploded, been laid off, had great jobs at good companies that were bought out and run into the ground, seen my position shipped off to India and re-invented myself as a BI consultant, … etc ) but I have NEVER found it this hard to find a new position. I am active on Linked In ( i.e. I have over 500 connections ) and have both general and specific knowledge in IT )( i.e. C , C++ , SQL , UNIX Kernel, … etc, Data Warehousing, Callidus, Business Objects, … etc),

    I am starting to wonder if there is any possibility that the world is not going to hell and hard working, intelligent resources such as myself can find a job. Not a great job, mind you, just a fricking job !

    Please reply and let me know if you have ANY positive news on employment – I am really starting to wonder ….

    Thanks,
    a fellow PIGG in Employment Limbo …

    A friend who got laid off right in mid Dec was working again by mid Jan. A friend whom he had worked with before found him a position at his new company.

    Personally, I think linked in only works one layer deep, ie those who have worked with you directly. And I don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t check linked in that often.

    Do you have a facebook account? I think that is where most of his friends found out he was looking for work…most people on facebook are on there daily.

    All the jobs that I am seeing are supporting activity for small retail outfits trying to improve their web presence. They don’t pay well, come with few if any benefits, are not stable and are hard to get.

    Now is not the best time to hate your job. Even worse to lose it.
