Jobs in DC

While enduring the heatwave in the Washington DC region last Sunday, I picked up a copy of The Washington Post. After spending about two minutes on their pitiful sports page, I moved on to the classifieds and found a fair amount of postings. Most were from consulting firms looking for software developers with rather new technologies and all required high end security clearances. My assumption is that most of them are competing for the same contract. If you are a programmer who could spend 6 months to a year in DC, you might want to get your resume headed to that region.

Accounts with prior government agency background also looked to be in high demand which makes sense considering the current financial mess. Engineers, manufacturing professionals, and teachers will find limited opportunities in DC and it suburbs right now. Based on what I observed, those interested in the hotel industry should check out Washington or Alexandria as every place I saw was loaded with guests.
