Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

I notice the sad state of the job page.

It is going smaller and smaller.

Very few advertisement for job vacancy. Most of the job advertise is from UK,

Previously, there were swarm of job vacancy from UAE, GCC, Down Under, Kazaksthan.

It is so sad the financial crisis influence the planners free movement.

Thank you,
Scarlett

I am also looking for a job in EU, UK & US. I am good with P6 and database management, I can also be a P6 database admin. I know the economy is down but as long as the pay is ok to support my family (one baby) that would be alright. I am working in Qatar right now. I am 29 year old filipino.

Hi Guys,

Things are definitely quieter now than they were a couple of years ago. At the same time, I’ve noticed a definite levelling-off in the rate of decline in recent months, and even a bit of an upturn in the last few weeks. If either of you are looking for work at present then please do contact me directly, I would be pleased to assist.

All the best,

Tom Brown

Hey Tony,

Don’t worry the real professional companies don’t hire 250 jockeys, and if they do it costs them a fortune and they soon realise it is not the way to go. It is however the trend at the moment cause there is a huge surplus of planners.
The market will swing and they will be begging Planners again and we will be naming our price again. At the moment just take anything to keep the money you have saved intact (or should have saved) and hang in. The storm is coming the sails are twitching

As far as freelancing goes in london - I think there is work out there but at the same time the rates have dropped, you cant compete with someone who is happy to work for £250 a day
