In one word: ick

Any positions you do see & apply for expect to hear nothing back; or they
do send the rejection letter to let you know they already hired the
internal candidate. A few that I know who scored a position had an inroad
with the company - so network & start smozing.

I'm stuck in the Government realm right now, so our biz is not picking up
either (not like we have a 'biz') - in fact with my company loosing some
contracts they fired some back office folk (supposedly because they do not
have the funds to pay them).

My contract is firm; in fact I/we will be looking to hire a person for a
new part time position in about a month. When the paperwork is finalized I
will be sure to post the announcement to the list for ya all.
