The job market can be challenging, keep at it.
The number of IT job vacancies advertised online fell 57% in May, compared with the same month last year.
But the IT Job Board, which has just released a white paper on the UK IT jobs market, says there are signs of growth in several sectors.
The second quarter of 2009 will show negative growth, but the industry is still not off the hook when it comes to skills shortages. In the longer term, the sector looks set to grow and shortages will continue.
The software job market currently looks better than hardware, with year-on-year growth of 4%. Project management and testing positions have both seen a 2% rise over the year on the IT Job Board website.
The market in the UK continues to be quite hard for many, in fact one colleague had heard that one organization had decided not to advertise the role and simply request a few agents put forward candidates, when they advertised the role online, they got too many candidates to process.
There are a number of large organizations and banks kicking off projects, and I suspect within a few months we’ll see the market pick up as everyone starts looking for people to move that data center, consolidate that server estate or co-ordinate that integration/refresh project.
Maintain the community, share opportunities with colleagues, keep your linked in profile up to date, speak to the agents, use your contacts and be patient, above all (and I know this can be difficult) accentuate the positive, what you believe will happen often does, know and understand that the right role will come forward for you, it’s just a matter of time, have faith my I dare say.
