Search results can be misleading. I have observed that job posts often have a laundry list of technologies/skills most of which are 'nice to have' but not critical to the job. So a listing might say they want someone with Java, .NET, Python, ASP classic and Oracle, but what they really want is a Java programmer who might have dabbled in other things.
In contrast, if a job listing mentions ColdFusion it is most likely the core skill required, not just part of a meaningless list. Thus there are fewer job listings mentioning CF, but at least you know that the ones that do mention CF actually DO want someone with a CF background. -----Original Message----- From: Ali Majdzadeh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 3:53 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: I love CF but it's not fair Hi: I was searching for job offers in Australia in here http://mycareer.com.au/ If you search for CF job offers it brings only 23 jobs which more than half are not even only for CF developers and some are for other languages like PHP or .NET. When I searched for PHP it came out with a few hundreds but with .NET 2334 matching results????!!!!!!! I love CF but it seems even Python is more popular or at least the search engine comes with better results with it (about 50 offers). I really don't understand why such a powerful and easy langauge should have such a low job offers in Australia! I really don't know about USA but it seems the same thing is true in the USA to. You know I just say it as a theory cause I really love CF and I won't migrate it till and only if Adobe kills the product but it seems if we started with PHP or .Net at the begining now we were more and better employed than now. Please write your opinions. Thanks Benign ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
