Well I don't have the money to move that far and I have a friend that lives in Sydney and he said it is just as bad there. Of course if I could Lee Borkman would be number one on the list to look up. LOL, I've wonder if he knows the spoon game. If it was NZ then I think I would want to live near New Christ Church. If I spelled it right that is. Of course I've never been there of course.

Last year we employed somebody from Germany. Now, we're just negotiating with somebody to move here from the UK. There wasn't the same boom and bust here as elsewhere so the market isn't swamped with unemployed developers. I would guess Australia is similar. Have you considered moving? Sydney has nice beaches ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Lee Foster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 19 April 2002 8:03 a.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Monster Agent Results - 4/18/2002 I've been looking for a full time position since my lay off 16 months ago. And yes it is bad out here. I'm about out of reserve cash and I even had to apply for unemployment which is about to run out the end of this month. Even working for myself which helped in the beginning but with the massive dot com failures there seems to be 100+ for every job open. In the past four months I've been to about fifty interviews and still I can get hired. I started to work on a very short-term assignment which is helping but I've got the point where I need something a lot longer just to get caught up. The only upside is the company I'm working at can't believe I'm as fast as I am. It helps with the self confidence but not the pocket.

At the same time I interviewed with several companies, again as direct contact. I do agree that there is a lot of crud to wade through first though and it has probably gotten worse since then.

It has been rare (for me) to find an actual opening on monster.com ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?bUrFMa.bV0Kx9 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
