Comments on: It’s COLD Out Here/There… http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/it-jobs/its-cold-out-herethere/ Sat, 18 May 2013 18:04:50 +0000 hourly 1 By: Edtittel http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/it-jobs/its-cold-out-herethere/#comment-71 Edtittel Wed, 25 Mar 2009 15:16:36 +0000 http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/it-jobs/?p=186#comment-71 Yes, Suzanne and Juan: it is kind of scary out there right now. Standing pat may not only be smart, it may also be the only option available to those lucky enough to have a job right now. What’s the point in going out looking, when the only thing you’re certain to find is trouble?

I’ve been second-guessing myself every now and then, given the shop I work for has gone to 7-hour days, but now I have reason to believe I made a good decision. It’s simply not worth the risk of losing this position to find a new one. Thanks for putting yourself out there for our benefit!

I was reading that the hiring companies/organizations have been overwhelmed with applications from out-of-state candidates. It’s tough out there…I’m just thankful to have a job.
