Re: IT Jobs Trend in Australia 2010

Oops... missed August, here's the September update added

As mentioned before, please bear in mind the following about these figures:

Some Seek jobs have multiple adverts through different agencies
Some are advertised in all cities event though the job is only in one

I'll try to update this weekly and maybe even create some nice graphs at some point.

This is a very rough guide only, some jobs get advertised multiple times and others don't get onto Seek at all, the actual numbers aren't important but any significant upward or downward trend probably is:

Sydney
07th Jan 2010 - 4188
15th Jan 2010 - 4515
22nd Jan 2010 - 5314

Melbourne
07th Jan 2010 - 2245
15th Jan 2010 - 2346
22nd Jan 2010 - 2613

Brisbane
07th Jan 2010 - 935
15th Jan 2010 - 1070
22nd Jan 2010 - 1114

Perth
07th Jan 2010 - 424
15th Jan 2010 - 453
22nd Jan 2010 - 488

Adelaide
07th Jan 2010 - 212
15th Jan 2010 - 230
22nd Jan 2010 - 232

Darwin
07th Jan 2010 - 34

Hobart
07th Jan 2010 - 13
15th Jan 2010 - 21
22nd Jan 2010 - 23

Thanks for this, but how do you get to find the non-agency jobs that aren't on SEEK or the other job sites?

Find the company you want to go to and visit the website. It is more work in the short run but you do not have to deal with agents.

Re: IT Jobs Trend in Australia 2010

Hi BE,

Just a quick question. Do you think Oracle DBA's have good chances of finding a job in South Australia particularly in Adelaide?

I have done some quick searches in seek.com.au and found that Oracle DBA positions in Adelaide is quite rare. :-(
