IT Employment Drops Markedly
On December 10, 2008, the National Association of Computer Consultant Businesses (NACCB) published a news release on their website declaring what most of us already know - the IT employment market is getting worse.
“In November, IT employment dropped by almost 34,000 jobs or .87%—the most significant one month drop in over 3 years.”
There has never been a better time to become an independent computer consultant. While many companies are laying off employees, these same companies are hiring independent contractors to maintain, support, and update systems that run their day-to-day operations.
In my book “Getting Started as an Independent Computer Consultant”, I will explain to you, step-by-step, exactly what you need to know to start your own business. In the DVD that comes with my book, I will show you how to bypass recruiters, agencies, and consulting firms, and negotiate directly with hiring managers.

This will be my last blog post for 2008. I wish the best for you and yours in 2009.
Oh, by the way, here is the entire press release from NACCB:
