Congratulations!!!


My friend just got made redundant... already has 5 interviews lined up. Things must be picking up.

Damn! That gives me no more excuse not to look for a job!

Well done that man and I hope its a long, enjoyable and fruitful association

Loads of finance jobs going at the moment - this is a good sign. Finance are the first to cut back and as they're run 'on the bone' means if they're hiring the rest of the business must be picking up.

Means i've got to pull my finger out now and get a job in IT / project management

I was looking recently as things were a bit dodgy where I'm working (but ok for the moment). It seems that things have picked up in my field (industrial automation) quite a bit in the last 6 months. Rates are a bit lower than they were 18 months ago (say 10%), but work is definately there again. 12 months ago there was nothing anywhere.
Regards
Hugh
