Anyone else having trouble finding work? 4

[LARiot]

Hey, I used to find work in LA as an MS-Access programmer with fair ease. Now it seems there are no contracts to be found anywhere. I've had a few calls with no real results.

Anyone else? Any advice? Any leads?

Thanks

I think he may be working for our local authority, they have just spent over £500,000 on a website which keeps falling over.

How do these people get these gigs?
That would keep us and the kids in shoes for the rest of our lives and still have some left to pay off the mortgage.

Hah! I saw that there was a new post in this thread and thought, "Man, I thought we had finally put this thing to rest months ago!"

FWIW, even in the current economic climate I am still gainfully employed and making more money than ever by being friendly, helpful, honest, skillful, and working hard (and not at manipulating people).

I'm friendly, helpful, honest, skillful, and still unemployed...

Hoping to start a role in a few weeks though I've had to take a hefty pay cut just to get a gig and a new car to get me there.

Unfortunately, being friendly, honest, helpful, reliable, etc. is still no guarantee. However, it's still a better policy than lies and manipulation.

Seems to work for politicians...

Lies and manipulation will eventually catch up with you. Ask Eliot Spitzer.

Let's send a quick "Happy Anniversary" to Shoalcreek. It's been 1 year since (s)he joined Tek-Tips.

Can we celebrate again on August 30? I'll mark my calendar.
