There was a time when you could bang that into Jobserve and get 30+ vacancies up straight away.
Not now.
I'm the first to admit I'm as thick as sh*t and really don't have the attitude or aptitude to learn programing, web development, Linux, or active directory skills. I have spent the last 10 years taking option blah at such and such o'clock from the daily tick sheet and logging a job failure for someone else to worry about and have with a bit of OT still averaged 40-50K a year which it has to be said is not a bad wage.
But now AS400 and Mainframe skills are as much in demand as a Motorola Startac.
Now I'm trying to break into helpdesk work as its the only thing still alive and kicking that isn't operating out of Pune or Bangalore, but I havn't a clue about Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange or server something 2003/7.
And the rates?...I have seen jobs paying £8ph in London....grrrrrr.
I need to start learning something....any suggestions?....go easy folks I'm an easy target here for all ya pent up mercenary aggression....
