    Boomed: IT workers 'find employment'

    Linky:

    Half of technology professionals say that they have been able to find work within three months.

    That's according to a new poll from recruitment consultancy First Point, which suggested that just 16 per cent of candidates are taking a year or more to start a job.

    Tom Fahey, managing director of First Point, told the news provider: 'Information technology remains a key business need across all industries.

    'The fact that both permanent and temporary workers continue to find work in a short period of time demonstrates the value placed upon skilled personnel.'
    Excuse me, but isn't this the same as:

    - Half of technology professionals have been unable to find work within three months.

    - Over one in six are taking a year or more to start a job.
    If you read the best 3 books in any subject, you'll be in the top 5% of experts in the world.

    Yes. As he said, "both permanent and temporary workers continue to find work in a short period of time". Don't be so impatient!

      Yes. But its better than all of us being out of work.

        Try working in manufacturing

        Not pretty

        Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

        Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

          Should that statement read:

          "Half of technology professionals say that they have been able to find work within three months... with vastly reduced rates”.
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
