FLEX360, the Web development firm that designed this Web site and others, needs to fill two positions ASAP.

First, it needs an ASP.net Web developer. Minimum 3-5 years work experience with ASP.NET 2.0, C# and SQL Server experience.

Also, it needs a Web designer. Again, 3-5 years work experience would great, and you should be proficient in Illustrator and photoshop, with a working knowledge of Flash and Fireworks. And there's all that HTML, CSS ASP, ASP.net and other stuff you need to know, too.

Apply now! And tell them LT sent ya.

These areas are expected to see the largest increases in job opportunities for executives, managers and professionals this year compared with 2006, recruiters say.

The hiring outlook isn't rosy across the board. For example, demand for senior talent is on the decline in the automotive and residential real-estate sectors, they say.

To boost your chances of success, focus your search on areas that recruiters are hungry to fill.

Those areas shape up list this: In health care, recruiting for nonclinical talent is expected to be most active at large pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life-science companies. In technology, hiring is busiest in Web development, project management, and data warehousing and analysis.

(Did we mention that we still have a Web developer position open at our company? We need help, like, yesterday!)

Finally, opportunities in corporate finance and accounting can be found in large and midsize publicly traded companies in oil and gas, technology and manufacturing.

You can see more of a break down of each industry here.

"Experience designers," the folks who design retailer stores. Never heard of that ...

A surprise on the list: checking in at No. 10 is "new analysts, reporters and bloggers." Certainly this is a list of those jobs in demand, but not too glamorous ...

(*) P.S.: We could still use a good Web programmer at our sister company, FLEX360. Know anyone? Let us know. Please.

Web developer needed. Badly

No joke. There's four of them down there -- programmers and designers -- and they need help. Buried under a mound of Web development projects they can't possibly get to in this lifetime.

Okay, that's probably stretching it. But FLEX360 (the Web development subsidiary of the company that publishes this Web site) needs a solid code monkey, like, yesterday to work on a host of sites for small- to mid-size businesses and other publishing companies. You can see FLEX360' s growing portfolio here.

Notes on job requirements are available here and here. You'll need to be adept at HTML, XML, CSS, ASP, ASP.net, VB Script and JavaScript. Time management skills are a necessity.

Apply now! And tell them LT sent ya because, yes, there is a finder's fee and, yes, we need some cash to ward off the creditors ...
