Myself as a CCIE, I am looking for a contract position in Australia Sydney
area.
Things are very bad, and recruiters say the rate is around $50-60 an hour
for 3 months contact. They also said it is lucky to get a position.
Is this true ?? I am very depressed by this after 3 years of the hard work
just to get CCIE not metioning over 7 years of experiences.
I guess it is better to go with personal networks( personal contacts ) to
get a position rather than using recruiters.
Any comment and Anyone knows any position available in Sydney??
Regards,
David Ham
