IT Job scene during Holidays

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I recently received my PR and I am currently here in Sydney on a work deputation(originally on 457) from my company which is based out of India. Now, I am looking for a change and a more cushy long term job here in Sydney but it seems the IT hirings(Java/J2EE) are a bit slow because of the Holiday season. Any ideas on when the hirings would pick up, Jan or Feb? Also, any pointers to job hunting websites (apart from seek.com) and consultants would be a great help.

I have 5 years of total experience in Java/J2EE of which 2 months is in Europe and 8 months in Australia and rest is in India on Banking domain with a SCJP Java 1.5 certificate.

From my POV, jobs only slow down in May/June (end of financial year - new budgets).

 

The things going against you :-

 

You are specialising (Java).

Only 5 years experience.

Most of it Indian.

Sydney based (more jobs, but a lot more competition from more experienced, wider knowleged locals).
