Also booming here in Melbourne.
Originally posted by padinka View Post"Seek.com.au" is the main job site in Oz. (It's owned by Jobserve though I think)
From their site, filtering only for ICT:
17,743 Information & Communication Technology jobs in Australia
So about three time as many IT jobs and a population 1/3rd the size of the UK.
So yes, no shortage of work.
Canberra is as boring as battulip though.Comment

2 calls this morning before 10am. Both from desparate sounding agents.
I've steadily had about 2 calls per day for the past week, but sadly nothing close to right has come up yet.
Yesterday I had two calls directly from companies. This was very strange, its like some of the big IT firms have ditched the agencies and are now setting up their own recruitment firms and using jobsite/jobserve recruiter accounts.Comment
