Looks like we had a temporary glitch that bounced you -- the tech jobs
wanted/offered are up and working, so I'd urge you to give it another try.

As has been discussed, probably the best way to find an IT job in
Canterbury is to make personal contacts -- there's a reason why we cite
"success through connections" as a tagline for CSI.

So many jobs are filled through word-of-mouth -- people at the Hi-Tech
barbeques or CSI workshops saying "do you know anyone who...". Perhaps a
discreet plea on the forum would be a good place to start, but I think
building those "wetware" networks is a good idea in any case!

I suspect that the general importance of those contacts underpins why so
few jobs are advertised and why, with the best will in the world, the jobs
wanted/offered section on the CSI site and in other media tend to be
relatively static.

I know that some of the jopbs offered listings on the CSI site are fairly
dated now. We could drop them, but I figure maybe they would help job
seekers get an idea or suggest a line of contact (eg if x company was
looking for a Delphi programmer six months ago, maybe they have another
position open now...)

Perhaps ones of the things our soon-to-be implemented facilitator can do
is follow these up to see how they went. I know iTouch was quite pleased
at the response they got -- I think they used the forum -- so it's not
without some results :-)

Good luck,
Vicki Hyde
