America's Best Kept Secret

Shhh...don't tell anyone that ColdFusion is not really dead. I prefer that the IT community think it is, so they stay off my turf. Yes, there are a lot fewer ColdFusion jobs these days then, say, the year 2000, but there are even fewer ColdFusion developers, since most of them jumped ship when ASP.net came into vogue. Ask any ColdFusion hiring manager...CF developers are VERY hard to find. For the last several years, I've been trying to make the switch to another language, but I keep getting hired for ColdFusion.

If you're having a hard time finding a ColdFusion job, try applying for openings all over the country, and explain that you're willing to travel (at the employer's expense, of course) and/or work remotely. If your resume is halfway decent, you'd be surprised how many companies are willing to make a deal.
