People with network and database administration skills are also in big demand. In Q2 2007, jobs for this group of candidates registered a 77 per cent increase on a year-to-year basis.

Dr Albert Wong, JobStreet.com’s chief technology officer, said: “We see good job prospects for people who are in the IT and Computer field.
