It's a developers' market in Sydney right now. All the recruiters i speak to tell me they desperately need CF developers. They'll pay top dollar right now too. I reckon the hourly rate for contractors has gone up about $10/hour over what it was a year ago.
I have a contract at the moment, although I'm slacking off in the ICU at WIndsor Hospital with cardiac problems, but in the last 4 weeks I would have had maybe 8 calls from recruiters looking for CF developers specifically, and not flinching at all when I tell them that i'm busy and can't look at their opportunity this time, but in any case they'll need to up their offer to get someone good. In fact my mobile rang this morning while a nurse was taking my blood pressure and sticking a needle in my belly, with yet another recruiter looking for a CF contractor in the Sydney CBD. He was prepared to pay about $50/hour so it's a good job. I reckon he'll go higher too. So the answer is like anything else - you gotta put in the legwork. you have to go find people who have jobs to fill. One way is to travel all the job web sites, get yourself on the mailing lists like cfjobs, call the recruiters till your voice is hoarse. But as someone in this thread said earlier - you dont need 2335 jobs, you only need 1. It doesnt matter how many jobs there are, as long as you get one of them.
