Looking for work? Looking for IT workers? Look no further for a wealth of advice and trend reports to that will help improve your position Is the IT job market still on the upswing? Or are recent layoffs, such as Intel’s hemorrhage of 10,500 jobs, a sign of bad times returning? No one can be sure. But one thing is certain: IT workers are restless and exploring new options. A full sixty percent are itching for new jobs, according to a new survey by the Computing Technology Industry Association. Of those, 27 percent are actively searching while 52 percent are doing so casually.In that spirit we present InfoWorld’s IT Jobs Special Report, 12 pages of how-to career advice and trend reports that could lift those numbers even higher. Did someone say “hire”? We’ve devoted a full section to help secure your footing if you’re considering making a leap. Google, for example, is just one company to consider. We talked with its staffing program director who told us that the company is having a problem filling positions. So we turned to Nick Corcodilos, author of Ask the Headhunter, who shares the interviewing mind-set you’ll need to land a job in the IT sector.We wrap up our report with a series of articles aimed at assisting the talent-seeking executive faced with a workforce on the move. The section is designed in part to help you find, train, and retain top talent. In our report on the IT talent shortage, for example, one executive told us that it’s easy to find developers but “much harder to find a senior principal consultant who is able to travel to our client’s office, articulate what our developers are able to do for them, then come back here to manage the project.” Could that someone be you?
