Houston Job market
Hello all, I am new to the Houston job market and was wondering the current state of employment. I am hesitant to buy into what the recruiters are telling me. While I would never ask anyone to give up competitive information, I would appreciate any opinions on the current market. Are there many projects going or ramping up? Once someone is in the system, how much down time do you really have from job to job or over the course of the year? As I said earlier, I am just looking to get a fair assessment of the market. All help is appreciated.

I’d say there are a few projects going on, some larger projects that are steady or winding down, and not a lot of recruiting activity going on right now.
Down time varies dramatically depending on the person and the project. Some people go weeks between projects on a regular basis.

Thank you for the feedback. I can see that it may be a bit of a rough transition being the new kid on the block also.
