    So it's a new year and the UK is out of the recension. Thought I'd ask what people's experience of the job market at the moment is? Thanks

    I know this was more intended to the UK crowd. however on the canadian side: I find that recruiters and HR are still using the recession ( which is on a tail end) as an excuse. I like to think of the current job scene in Alberta as a "possum" market.

      Just to point out, we've only grown by 0.1%. There's every possibility that there's just been a slight bump in the stock markets for some reason.

            A friend of mine has recently graduated (IT related) and he receives 2 to 4 calls a week here in Italy.

              Plenty of places looking to hire but none have decided to pay any money. Money lags behind the demand a bit.

                No different to normal really. My place is still trying to find developers, unsuccessfully, and I'm still being bombarded with emails / calls from agencies asking if I'm available. Unfortunately the pay is also no different to normal and the hours over the past few years, if anything, have increased. :(
