Sorry to hear dude, I'll keep an eye out at my place. Although things are pretty slim.

Thats totally uncool dude......


You have very good experience, and even though the economy is bad, it is getting better.


You will find something soon .


Good Luck!

My theory is this:


50 resumes/day minimum.

Guaranteed to find a job doing this within 1 months time.

Sorry to hear it :(

Calvin,
Sorry to hear the news, I'll keep my eyes peeled for anything that sounds good over here, but we've been under a serious lock down until maybe after the merger (hell I don't even know if i'll still be here).

If you ever want to get together sometime let me know. The good news though is that the industry looks like it might be pulling itself out of the hole it's been in for the last several quarters.

-Johnny

Take two months off. I was "thrown away" Dec 19th, with literally no severance pay. I've been taking it easy, but tomorrow I have a job interview with Intel (crossing fingers).

Good luck!
