Business is Waking Up!

Folks, I don't want to jinx anyone but something is shaking out there. I have picked up about a dozen new or reactivated requirements from employers since Labor Day. Granted, the life cycle of each search appears to be much slower than in the past but there finally is some movement, at least in the states of NY and NJ. Positions are popping up for QA Inspectors, Engineering Aids, R+D Managers, Paralegals, among others. The area that is not moving is Information Technology and mid-level managers are not in demand at all. One key to grabbing a new job is to take whatever pay rate the employer is offering. Way too many people are stalling, hoping for more money. Remember, you are most likely to get promoted or recruited if actively employed!
