Want to get an idea of your chances of getting hired this year? Who better to ask than the people who control a company&#39;s purse strings&amp;mdash;the CFO&#39;s. That&#39;s exactly what the folks at Duke University and &lt;i&gt;CFO Magazine&lt;/i&gt; did, and the results aren&#39;t particularly encouraging&amp;mdash;at least for 2010.&lt;p&gt;According to the Duke/CFO Magazine survey&amp;mdash;which is based on responses from 620 CFOs across the country&amp;mdash;payrolls are likely to climb a mere 0.2 percent over the next 12 months. Bad news indeed.  And, worse, BusinessWeek reports that the CFOs &quot;projected the world&amp;rsquo;s largest economy would not recoup the 8.4 million jobs lost since the recession began, the worst employment slump in the post-World War II era, until 2012 at the earliest.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The one small crumb of comfort is that at least the average CFO is seeing stability and some sort of recovery ahead.  Sure, they might be outsourcing jobs&amp;mdash;as  IBM is rumored to be doing right now&amp;mdash;but at least they&#39;re foreseeing a recovery in profits and planning an increase in capital spending. That latter action is sure to have some kind of knock-on effect on hiring&amp;mdash;even if it&#39;s not within the companies paying for the upgrades.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;--Posted by Phil Stott, Vault.com&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
