I haven't posted a new CV anywhere recently but yesterday had 4 phone calls from agents in one hour. It looks like they are ramping up for the new year, all were direct and to the point, no fishing for contacts.

Agents working...on a SATURDAY?
I call BS

Good to hear about the market picking up though. I personally need to get off the bench ASAP so that's good news for me -
Yep, more than enough justification in those two sentences to make me believe that a market covering every aspect of IT and IT management is picking up as a whole. If only economic forecasting were that easy.Originally posted by BigRed View PostI haven't posted a new CV anywhere recently but yesterday had 4 phone calls from agents in one hour.
