If this is something that you are interested in to put an end to your financial worries, get yourself registered with the Central Contractor Registry which is a federal clearing house for vendors and small businesses too. Also identify a product or service that you can supply to the government and which the government needs in order to get a contract.

You can win such billion dollar contracts and secure your career or business better even during this phase of recession.

Now I’ve just got to decide which items to act on, as I don’t reckon I’ll be able to do them all!

Job seekers can get notified when a new posting is added which meets their search criteria such as location, technology, role, investor, VC etc.

Twitter users can get the daily Hot Job Twit of the day.

However I think you need to include growth stage technology companies amongst those you listed in the relatively recession proof group. Why? Because they are venture capital funded so they don’t depend on sales profit to sustain them. And the very cool thing about being funded is that means they are hiring. That’s what the money is there for. Growth! In fact, growth stage software and internet technology companies are taking advantage of the slow economy to upgrade their talent corps with quality IT specialists who have been laid off. The most exciting thing about this is that these are the types of innovative companies that developers thrive in! So there are plenty of ‘interesting’ opportunities for skilled developers.

To this end, I just wanted to say that as a tech recruiter based in Los Angeles whose client portfolio is predominantly Saas, web 2.0, social network & web portal companies… I have not experienced a slowdown at all. I get new requirements everyday.
