I have heard this firsthand from several in the last few months when discussing the market.
The reason is mainly that nationwide there is currently such a high number of people looking for work and there just arent the vacancies there at the moment.
The market also contracts here in winter for approx 3 months so not only is it now a recession but also winter.
The IT market was very healthy here for a good spell and people from all over the world were moving here and now in the recession there are absolute pros applying for helpdesk roles.
By all means try but it may be hard going until this recession passes.
Good luck.
Not worth bothering then eh?
