Don’t worry. You’ll have a job this time when it bursts.

I'm still getting calls about an online resume of mine that has not been updated in a year.

Having been in the business for some time now, even I am shocked when I get calls from recruiters presenting CMO positions. CMO! Are you serious? CMO? It's a sign.

In the downturn of the dotcom bubble, many job seekers were struggling, looking for anyone interested in our skills, let alone anything above a managerial position. If there were internet jobs flipping virtual burgers, many of us would have gladly taken them.

Oh, how times have changed. In order not to panic my current employer, I will say that I enjoy my current job immensely and the people I work with. I have learned that it is considerably more important (to be happy where you work) than making a boatload for a short time, not being happy and imploding-- again. The difference this time around is that there are thousands of people just like me.

However, this signals to me the absolute dearth of people available for internet jobs, and it raises a concern over who these companies are finding to fill those positions.

Those who knew nothing about technology and were chasing the fast buck in internet v1.0 were cleared out in the first implosion.

What was left were those people who were passionate about the internet because they could envision just how it would actually change society. The promise was still there, the vision was just a little cloudier.
