Has anyone noticed an upturn in the number of contracts and job
openings lately. I have seen many more opportunities than usual come
across my desk in the last month or so. It almost seems near the level
of pre-dotcom bust days.
I received over 60 offers this week (from listservs, job services,
recruiter emails and posting to websites). This seems like good news!
