I agree with Mark S great post
My OH has been in a contracting in Welly using skills dating back 8 years!! so do not be affraid to add all your skills in the matrix. there are some shortage areas in some really old SW skills. He is currently asking for $10 extra now as he knows the market is short of Powerbuilding developers. He was a version 4 when he took the role and had to get himself up to version 12 (I think)
they are looking to change to Oracle but he can not see that happening anytime soon. so he keeps getting extensions on his contract.
I was in recruitment and if it AIN'T on there you will not get a call. Its all done elctronically these days. Plus 90% do not understand the role in the first place let alone know who to look for to fill it IMO.
Good luck all
