The high tech industry has essentially 0% unemployment in Vancouver area currently... it is a very, very good time to be looking for work if you have a couple of years of experience (or even if you don't, most likely).

Quite correct.
At the place I work at we have 2 job opening and only 5-10 people applied for it. Only 2 were worth interviewing and 1 of them was horrible. So we will probably have to hire someone from outside of Metro Vancouver OR someone who is far from ideal/qualified.

Looks at thread title.

Hey Vancouverites,

I'm coming back for a month this holiday season, and, as always, would like to meet up with the gang. The last meet in summer 2011 was a blast.

I'm in Vancouver from December 5th-12th, and then from Dec. 21st-27th.

Any of you interested in a walkabout, beer and good food? If so, let hash out a date that works for everyone.

Spork · #**185** Posted **Nov 16, 2012, 3:22 AM**

Sounds like a great idea. I have yet to get to a meet, so it would be nice to put a face to some of the names here (although I promise that I won't call anybody by their username in person

entheosfog · #**186** Posted **Nov 16, 2012, 6:07 AM**

I might be down as well, especially seeing as I flaked out of the last one...

jlousa · #**187** Posted **Nov 16, 2012, 6:10 AM**

I can't promise I can make it yet but the earlier dates would work better for me.

Metro-One · #**188** Posted **Nov 16, 2012, 6:18 AM**

Earlier dates would be good for me as well, would be fun, I recently discovered that another Vancouver forum member is my cousin, haha!

giallo · #**189** Posted **Nov 16, 2012, 8:01 AM**

Cool.

Yeah, the earlier dates work better for me as well. How does Sunday, Dec. 9th sound?

red-paladin · #**190** Posted **Nov 16, 2012, 6:18 PM**

I could attend the 8th or 9th.

Is there any interest in checking out Metrotown and Downtown New West as part of the meet?

Perhaps we could introduce Columbia St. to anyone that 'never sets foot east of Boundary'?

queetz@home · #**191** Posted **Nov 16, 2012, 7:01 PM**

I can most likely attend the 8th or 9th as well, so whenever fits best for everyone.

touraccuracy · #**192** Posted **Nov 16, 2012, 7:22 PM**

weekends work well for me.

Canadian Mind · #**193** Posted **Nov 23, 2012, 6:23 PM**

Well this sucks, my leave doesn't start till the weekend after.

Would we be able to organise 2 meets, or just have a second smaller get-together later on in December?

Spork · #**194** Posted **Nov 23, 2012, 7:16 PM**

Let's do a quick poll.

queetz@home · #**195** Posted **Dec 5, 2012, 11:07 PM**

So...is this meet still on for the weekend or did people forget about it?

Please confirm either way so some that need to make plans can do so...

jlousa · #**196** Posted **Dec 5, 2012, 11:23 PM**

I'm game for attending but not organizing.

sacrifice333 · #**197** Posted **Dec 6, 2012, 12:08 AM**

If there's no wind I can probably attend this weekend.

Metro-One · #**198** Posted **Dec 6, 2012, 12:15 AM**

I can also attend, Sunday right?

giallo · #**199** Posted **Dec 6, 2012, 12:39 AM**

Sorry, I've been crazy busy the last two weeks.

Just got in to Vancouver today. I'm down with Sunday. How does 1pm @ _________ * sound?

*I'm cool with meeting up wherever.

Spork · #**200** Posted **Dec 6, 2012, 2:02 AM**

Sunday looks good. Depending on work, I may or may not be able to attend. Rounding the end of a project that is taking up most of my waking hours.
