There has been a noticeable change in activity in my office since the beginning of September that bodes well for the balance of the year and for 2004. The big change is that consulting utilization has picked up.

Why is that important?

Because firm's are using consultants to get a leg up on work taht they need for 2004.

What that means is that they're spending money NOW on staffing with the expectation that there will be further funding in 2004.

My Yahoogroup (which you can join by going to www.newyorkmetrotechnologyjobs.tk) carried more than 80 postings this month, the most since I started it in August 2001.

On Tuesday, I participated in a panel in a panel of recruiters discussing the current technology market for New York professionals at a netwoprking group for senior technology professionals. All of us reported that we had seen a recent noticeable pick up in hiring.

Hopefully, that means the end is very near.

Keep trying.

Sincerely,

Jeff Altman
