768894 2009-04-27 10:10:00 If you have the right skills, and the right attitude, then yes, there are definitely still job opportunities out there. I know of two companies right now which are currently screaming out for good IT staff, but they have high standards and will only hire the best. d.

You would have to be taking the mickey huh? Unless of course you're talking WN

Same here, its funny how people expect you to know everything about computers and everything related to computers. People dont realize that IT is a broad field. Google is certainly my first option when faced with a new problem.
