High Tech Job Trends
& 2011 Salary & Demand Projections
"There can be no doubt that the number of IT jobs continues to grow vigorously despite an economic recovery that many are characterizing as anemic," observed Mark Roberts, TechServe Alliance CEO.

... then tell us:
Do these ring true? How do you achieve work/life balance? Does your employer provide it? Is it a non-issue for you?

The Holiday Rush Is Upon Us!
By Joanna Edwards, Executive Recruiter at Redfish Technology
As I write this, a beautiful snowfall blankets Sun Valley, Christmas music is playing and eighteen resumes were in my inbox prior to 6am MST. It can only mean one thing: yearend is approaching.
We are just weeks away from January 1st and in the world of recruiting it is typically our busiest time of year for a multitude of reasons.
In my recruiting days, I have seen a lot of interesting things occur: interviews on Christmas Eve, interviews at airport bars, final interviews via Skype, phone interviews on Monday followed by flying the candidate out the next day for a final meeting. No matter what the case, if you want the job (or alternatively, if you want the candidate) you do whatever it takes to secure the deal - even if it means a last minute change in schedule.
