>>I never understood the logic around "no one hires during holidays". Anecdotal: I just got a phone call from a recruiter less than 3 hrs ago. :p If anyone here wants to work in Walnut Creek California, 6 months contract to hire, management position & writing shell scripts to extract csv files and send them to an Oracle DB ...let me know? Yeah, not the most exciting/challenging work. I think this recruiter got my info back when I was just starting out. Another anecdotal: It's my experience that companies(at least start-ups) seem to have all the important HR/Payroll people taking sporadic vacations during holiday season so the hiring-paperwork can't be done. I once was "offered" a job in December, but they couldn't officially bring me on board because the CEO(who liked to meet all new hires before approval) and key HR/Payroll people were on vacation in Switzerland or something until late January.
