As one who has searched these boards of late, I concur.
Someone posted a while back a good summary that went something
like this:
... The postings are the same ones that have been there for months,
but they get a new date on them every three days, the jobs that the
postings are for don't exist, if there ever is a real opening all the boards
post it from several different recruiters (call them what you will), and
for those real jobs they want someone who's done dba, Legato, Veritas,
Perl (12 yrs), and Sybase and DB2 to boot. AND they're offering 30k
less than you were making at your last job....
I paraphrased, but that's what I've found too.
Also, aside from the poor market, its summertime. Not many new
projects start in the summer.
I have my *first* interview with an actual hiring company in several
*months* of looking, and that didn't come off the standard job boards,
nor did it come from a recruiter. Wish me luck.
By the way, I've alternately referred to the dot-bomb I came from
as dot-compost. It has a nice ring to it. Maybe I can coin the term
and make the rent that way...
Sigh.
