In my country as well, it's the same deal. However we are still behind the times as most employers somehow think asp is the shit when it comes to web development.

99% of the jobs here are for .net/java/c# and most them require you to be 'Microsoft Certified'. I've even seen a few jobs for Linux Support roles that require you to be 'Microsoft Certified'. That's probably why they the listings have been there for months :p
