>> Is the job market that bad out there?
I dunno. I think the crazy days are gone, is the job market bad? I dunno.

But if there is one campaign I'd pioneer - it's let's give Firth a crack.

Any takers? Let's go - PONY up...

I challenge anyone who is hiring right now to interview the guy - give him a
chance. And if not - why not? - bring it into this forum...

==== unrelated yet related story.

My wife needed a career change, a job came open that for some reason she
never would have considered applying for (developing and administering for
profit sports programs for kids). I saw the ad and pushed her a little - at
first she was scared - but as she reviewed her qualifications, and the
requirements for the job - it became her dream job.

In the application process, maybe second guessing her play for the position,
I stressed it was important to get the interview. Not only do you want to
get the interview to demonstrate your capabilities and passion for a job -
but to make sure you are on track to get a job. I think it is a relatively
easy play to get an interview (interested in feedback from hirers here), and
important for both parties - to say - "I WANT THIS JOB, I need an interview
to make sure I am on track to get this job."

The point. I know nothing about Michael Firth except to say - I know he
wants to be employed as a ColdFusion programmer. Give him the interviews -
if nothing but career planning, there is alot of value for him.

The one thing that worries me, being a newly graduate looking for work, is
the desperate plea for work.  I see individuals post to this board that have
alot of experience but are looking for employment.  Is the job market that
bad out there?
