Growth isn’t expected before mid-2004, study shows

Jessica Schlenk, an information technology project manager with a master’s in business administration and a decade at a major consulting firm under her belt, counts herself among the lucky. After 10 months of looking for a job, she has two offers.

“IT WAS NICE to be able to choose,” Schlenk says.
Not everyone will be as fortunate, according to a recently released study by a local high-tech consortium.
The first possible chance for significant job growth in the local technology field will not come before mid-2004, according to the study conducted on behalf of work force development agency O-Force, the Orlando Regional IT Consortium and Florida’s Information Technology Education Center.
Companies just aren’t spending money on technology. And when they are hiring, the applicant pool is so full, they can have their pick of experienced people.
“There are so many people out of work, (companies) can find exactly what they’re looking for,” Schlenk says.
