    going direct...

    hi guys...

    I was wondering if any of you had any magic tips on how to find out which companies use a particularly programming language so that I could target them direct when job hunting? I've tried doing general searches on the mighty google but as you can imagine it came back with mainly agency sites and my aim of this exercise is to try to avoid the use of agencies as much as poss.

    I'm in the process of applying for a migration visa for Oz and I'm trying to do some research on which companies use what technologies. I programme in Powerbuilder (I know, I know dying art form and all that, no need to take the pi$$! ) so it's not so common as java, .NET etc. Obviously, ideally it'd be good to get some experience in some other more "useful" languages but that just ain't gonna happen where I work now... they can barely get their heads around PB!

                  well thanks for all the constructive help everyone.

                  I was under the mistaken idea that this was a bulletin board about contracting and IT.
