Re: recruiters are looking beyond IT
I spent a year an a half as a recruiter, long before I got into IT properly.
It was a windy road though, having previously had a brief gig as a site engineer (civils), then a year serving pints down the local boozer, going via 10 years with BT (shifting routers and leased lines), then a brief stint at Sound Engineering college before learning (just about) to programme, which has kept me occupied for the last 30 months.
Still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.
