Sorry about not replying to your email about this. I got a virus somehow this week and lost my hard drive. So I'm now a fully patched up Win XP Pro Norton 2002 tooled up fortress... talk about bolting stable doors is now deeply taboo in the Weasley household..
Yes, Sept is a good month to be entering the job market. By 2004 things should be picking up nicely.
Good luck,
