Sagey, get real.If I have a choice between unemployment, losing my house and everything else and a chance to either work for a smaller outfit or keep my present position at a lower salary... well what would you do?
Scroggs is probably right, the market will improve in time but the first to get the jobs will be those laid off by the majors,hopefully as part of the layoff agreement, followed by those type rated,followed by those with the best experience fit whose pose the least training risk.The low hours graduates will be bottom of the food chain until the demand exceeds the supply.Yes it will happen but you will need to be patient.
Scroggs, best of luck for today brother, I'm undergoing the agony as well.
