Bob Aiello - February 2003
This is a tough time to be unemployed. Job Hunters report that this is one of the toughest times to land a position in IT. To be successful requires a lot more than just a good resume and solid experience. Job Hunters have to employ tactics that can uncover opportunities and then open doors so that they can compete for one of the few available positions in their field of expertise. I have been asked to council many IT professionals who were looking for work, some unemployed for over a year. What follows are tactics for a tough job market for those who are serious about finding another job. Frankly, some of my suggestions may even border on being slightly unethical. As a father of five children my view is that I will do whatever I have to do to stay gainfully employed.
