Dude!
I'd move to Sydney, no prob! Need developers from the swamps
around New Orleans who moved to the mountains around Denver? Us Yanks'll
work for ya! :)Actually, I've been to Perth/Fremantle over on the other
side with the Navy... Liked it there... So I should really enjoy the
east coast!

You know, here in NZ it's hard to find developers. Last year we employed
somebody from Germany. Now, we're just negotiating with somebody to move
here from the UK. There wasn't the same boom and bust here as elsewhere
so the market isn't swamped with unemployed developers. I would guess
Australia is similar. Have you considered moving? Sydney has nice
beaches ;-)

I've been looking for a full time position since my lay off 16 months
ago. And yes it is bad out here. I'm about out of reserve cash and I
even had to apply for unemployment which is about to run out the end of
this month. Even working for myself which helped in the beginning but
with the massive dot com failures there seems to be 100+ for every job
open. In the past four months I've been to about fifty interviews and
still I can get hired.
I started to work on a very short-term assignment which is helping but
I've got the point where I need something a lot longer just to get
caught up. The only upside is the company I'm working at can't believe
I'm as fast as I am. It helps with the self confidence but not the
pocket.

I got my current job through Monster a couple of years ago with direct
contact with the hiring company. At the same time I interviewed with
several companies, again as direct contact.
I do agree that there is a lot of crud to wade through first though and
it has probably gotten worse since then.

My experience with Monster.com is that many (if not most) openings
posted there are actually salted by recruiters just to get you into
their databases. It has been rare (for me) to find an actual opening on
monster.com
