Using the Parrot -- IT Hiring Exploding in Washington DC
Last Thursday I walked out of a Starbuck in Reston, VA, and saw a woman standing next to a parrot wearing a Superman jacket. (The parrot -- not the woman -- was wearing the jacket.) Hard to pass up a woman standing next to a parrot in a Superman jacket, so I asked her what was going on. It turns out she's an IT job recruiter and can't find candidates. She was looking for prospects in this very high-tech area at lunch time. "I found one qualified person on Friday, and he had a job by Monday." Top on her list: J2EE developers, .Net developers, database administrators, and database designers.
