Depressing IT Job Prospects

[keith smith]

I would begin by thinking of resume material.  Things like an internship so you have real life experience to go with your education.

Agree strongly.  Lots of spam from "recruiters" who scrape the jobs
postings from the sites with positive relationships with Intel, Honeywell, GD,
and Orbital and repost trying to hijack a commission.

blah blah blah.  Doesn't mean anything to me or Mike, who started this
thread with a "what do I do with my life" post, personally.  I'm
not employed by those companies you're talking about.  Even if I was, are
they going to let go all of their people?  Doubt it.  Again, too much taking
what the "media" is saying to heart, which are bits and pieces, taken
totally out of context, of stuff that means something to Ben Bernanke and
William Donaldson but nothing to me.
