IT Jobs Market - Beating the Pressures of the Recession

IT Jobs Market - Beating the Pressures of the Recession
By Amanda Pavis

If you are lucky enough to work in IT then you may actually be wondering what all the fuss about a recession is about. After all, IT jobs are flourishing and those at the top of their field are still able to command extremely competitive salaries and virtually be able to name their price. It is almost a case of 'Recession, what recession?' in the world of IT employment.

So why is IT so obviously immune to the vagaries of the current economic circumstances? Well in some ways the economic crisis in which we find ourselves may actually be helping IT jobs to be in abundance.

More and more companies are finding that as the recession hits and people lose their jobs, are worried about the value of their homes etc, they stop spending. When consumers do not consume, then business is not as brisk and businesses suffer.

Companies then have to fight to attract new customers and how best to do this but to use IT? IT can make new markets suddenly explode and can take average businesses to giddy new heights, so companies may cut back on their corporate hospitality, their administration departments and so on, but IT is one department that is relatively safe.

The more specialised the IT role, such as security professional, software engineer etc then the safer a job becomes. Every company needs IT and so every company needs an IT professional!

It is unlikely that this situation will change radically within the next few years. So whilst there may no longer be a job available for life, many IT professionals certainly stand a better chance of well paid employment, than none IT professionals. Perhaps divine retribution for all those 'Geek' jokes that city slickers used to make: the IT geeks are certainly having the last laugh now!
