Anyway today I am going to believe what I have read.
The IT sector looks set to have a bright 2008. Over 50% of Senior Technology Executives surveyed were confident about the prospects for the sector in 2008. 68% of those surveyed expected to hire staff this year. Of note is that 48% felt that it was getting more difficult to recruit good staff.
So all the IT professionals who left the sector after the 2000 dotbomb – come back we need you!!
