As i am currently looking for a job in Belgium/Netherlands, i was curious to see how many job openings are out there for IT professionals in Europe.
To satisfy my curiosity, i have put together a little web application called European Job Search. It still has some minor flaws, but already can give results you wouldn’t expect (many php jobs in the Czech Republic, anyone?).

Woohoo, W3C created a new validator for us. Is YOUR site mobile-friendly?
