All in time for the July Jump and the August Awakening.

And back to the September Sag, sorry Surge.

Not to mention the May Mayhem and then the June JobFest - Booooomed

Ok Ok, but think of the March Madness and April Avalanche.

and the December Decline, the January 'Jesus it's quiet' and the February 'flip this I'm going to stack shelves at Lidl' etc

Decision makers are still coming back from holidays and reading their emails, drinking coffee and having catch-up meetings. The September Surge has been put on hold for the expected October Outpouring.

Or the November Nothingness

I am finding it even quieter this week - there is nothing much worth applying for.

[BolshieBastard]

Sorry to piss on anyone's bonfire but just because an agent calls you and says he \ she is putting you forward does not mean there's a real job or an indication that the market is picking up.

Even if you get called for 'interview' it could be client co's 'just looking at what's out there' and end up wasting your time.

I get the impression it is still dead out there although there may be the odd 'bubble' of a couple of roles every now and then.

I was watching the BBC World News at the hotel the other day and they were repoprting that Bangalore is getting very busy again. When the stuff hit the fan a lot of companies were supposed to have canceled their contracts out there - they are starting to reverse this.

just when you think the job market couldn't get any worse - it does.

i'm finding the 'lack of' any bounce very disappointing...

I have had three calls in the past two days. One I have been put forward for and the other two am waiting to hear if they will progress my application. It is starting to pick up a little bit on the PM front.

[BrilloPad]

I am looking round now : alot of roles advertised but few of them progressing.

Maybe pimps are using the hope of a surge to do some fishing?

[Fred Bloggs]

So, anyone seen any signs of this September surge?

Still quite in my field of work.

Like the grave.

Nada, zilch, sod all. Haven't even had a fishing call from an agent in weeks. Can't even get jobserve in Bangalore, it sends me here http://www.indiajobsit.com/en/index.asp and much cheapness is the order of the day.
Only places I see hiring at the moment are games studios.
