Hmmm, guess this might not be the time to say that at the recent science and engineering career fair there were a lot of companies looking for Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Electrical Engineering graduates.

One thing to consider is that if a company is sure that it can weather the current recession then they'll want to keep some continuity in their ranks. I interviewed and visited a company in the fall that did very little hiring in the 90's. Now they are low on mid level people. This is good for new peeps like me though
