Hi Kim,
As someone from the outside "looking in" as they
say I can give you my perspective. Yes there are indeed
jobs to be had "somewhere" in the country. But don't get
too complacent!! There are more and more folks in the
market place with a slow economy ... to quote a headhunter:
"Companies aren't wining and dining like they used to.."
One measure of design activity surely is the si-list itself.
I do NOT remember it being as slow as this. I am battening
the hatches for what might be a long haul for me...
