Sherlock's Frohman To Join Panel Discussion On New IT Job Market
Join us on
Tuesday, September 15th in Ft. Lauderdale as Sherlock's own Lesley
Frohman joins a distinguished panel to discuss today's New IT Job
Market. Let’s face it - today’s job market is tough! If you’re in
transition,
and actively seeking employment, you know this all too well.
Traditionally, Information Technology positions seemed exempt from
major layoffs and downsizing job cuts. We’ve learned over recent months
that jobs in the IT industry are just as much at risk as jobs being cut
from other industries. The good news is, not only are the IT job losses
less drastic than the other areas, the IT jobs are being targeted and
created in strategic industry segments.
Discover the unique
challenges faced by IT Recruiters as they seek out the IT opportunities
and find the talent to fill them. With some segments struggling with a
shortage of talent, and the Recovery Act/Stimulus targeting specific
industries, this is sure to be an enlightening discussion from a panel
of South Florida IT Recruiters.
