1. Talk to your manager
2. Lose the tunnel vision
3. Find a mentor
4. Show off your writing skills
5. Be a joiner
6. Work for free
7. Become an entrepreneur

8) Change careers.

1. Find something you like to do.

2. Find someone willing to pay you enough money to do it.

Improve your job situation? I'd add:

1. Use the contacts of people that have left your work.

Under the current climate, when people leave their jobs, quite a few of them end up in positions with better pay.

2. When job hunting don't go on past experiences in failure.

Nows the time to submit your resume for the type of jobs that 4 years ago your application failed to get.

3. Embellish your resume to make it look senior.

Unsurprisingly there is a shortage of senior people and most employers are looking optimistically for someone to replace that person who just left for senior pay. Note how they want to confirm to themselves that the individual was easily replaceable, find a way to affirm their decision.

HINT: just say "yes" to everything during the review.

4. Be a bit arrogant. In the same way as how guys pull chicks at bars.

Talk like "pff...there never was a dot com bust, I've always found heaps of work and I get paid plenty" - this will win over naff HR chicks.

Whereas don't say: "Yep I've gone through tough times and I'm better for it".

This gives the impression to a naff HR chick that you're the kinda guy that doesn't pull chicks because the other girls don't like you for some reason that she'll never understand.

During the interview, comment about her good looks and shiney bracelet.

If they act a little serious, comment about her business savy and tell her that you think she's a serious business leader.

Hey Dimes old bean...IT sucks and I'm going to keep telling the world about it!!

@UnemployedITer... Mate seriously, if you've got nothing constructive to say then just forget it. Seems like every second post you are ranting about how bad IT is. If it's so bad then leave it behind and move on instead of writing bitter posts on forums. I'm sorry bout this negative post but I like working in IT (and I know all about it's failings - you don't need to tell me) and I like getting useful info from this forum. I've been reading these posts for a while and I'm yet to see you contribute anything other than depressing bitter rubbish... Like I said if it's so bad then tell your story walking.

Screw you, you IT loser.

When is certainly the actual iphone five supposed to come out? I've verizon and would like to get the iphone when my personal contract comes to an end in May, I'd really like to figure out if the i phone 5 is coming out anytime in the future, simply because if so, I'd stick it out lengthier to acquire that instead of the iphone 4.

Good job making it apepar easy.
