Many of you know that I've been recruiting and placing Documentum professionals as both employees and contractors since the early 1990's and this is the first time that supply of Documentum professionals has exceeded demand. Now that's not to say that there are more top-tier Documentum Pros looking for work than there are available jobs/assignments, that's certainly not the case; but it used to be that anyone with any kind of Documentum experience could get a job easily and that's no longer true.
What this means for companies is that they can be picky, now is their time to hire the best. I know that several of my clients have been thrilled with the caliber of talent that I have provided and their user communities have been thrilled as well. If there's a Documentum-related project on your horizon, now is a good time to start it. You'll get better manpower for your dollar.
If you're a Documentum professional who's looking for work, now's the the time to improve your skills and up your game. If your current project doesn't give you the reach you need, that's no excuse; you can now download the Content Server Developer edition for free. And if you're between projects or jobs, you should create a project that allows you to expand your skill set and to strut your stuff. If you're one of those folks who hasn't yet touched D6, you can touch it now, there's no excuse not to.
Someone once said that every problem comes bearing its gifts, download yours now. Once you've done that and done something with it, give me a call and tell me about it.
