Since I am now toast.
I did get a bit of a head start on the rest of the crowd, being laid off the week before the Great Wet Carp Across the Face of 2008. And that did lead to a few leads, one of which may pan out. We’ll see if they ever get back to me (more on bad manners later).
Now that business are reducing size, there are fewer leads. A “product manager” for websites (which is a fancy name for project manager at most places) position comes up once or twice a week now. I figure there are about 500-1000 people competing for those positions, so it’s not just a matter of who’s the best qualified but also which resume gets seen.

People who complain that Barack Obama lacks experience must be unaware of his legislative achievements. One reason these accomplishments are unfamiliar is that the media have not devoted enough attention to Obama’s bills and the effort required to pass them, ignoring impressive, hard evidence of his character and ability.
