RE: IT jobs outlook for 2009: The good and the bad

While it is legitimate to post that Dice has 56,830 open jobs posted on their site, many of these are ghost positions, or positions that companies list just to look like they're active in technology. I keep a very detailed database on positions I have applied to. During the period of 2007-2008 I applied for 263 IT positions. Of these, 13% responded in one way or another. The other 87% did not even acknowledge my submission. This includes Walmart, Cisco, and Intel. While these numbers might be accurate on paper, it does not reflect the behavior of these firms posting these positions.
