As far as skills that I’ve seen that are in demand – I screen resumes for new hires and we can’t find many decent engineers with experience in the following areas:
(…)
2. Advanced Perl skills – lots of legacy web applications need to be maintained and are written in Perl. extensive CPAN knowledge is a requirement
(…)
There are 7 skillsets that I’ve tracked over the last year that either have openings locally (San Diego or Orange County) or I have actively tried to hire for. If you possessed those skills you’d have a 6 figure job instantly, despite your age.[/quote]
Eclipxe, if you don’t mind, do you know about open positions in SD for advanced Perl skills?(add to that experience in Unix/Linux, CGI, HTML, SQL/Oracle, bioinformatics – so biotech positions would be preferable)? I’d be very interested.
