Tim,

Tell me about it I completely know where you are coming from.  I
remember just last year for that matter I would send out my resume and
have 15 offers in a week to actually start a position.  Today I cant
get shit.  Nothing!  All I keep hearing is that the market is dry
which I know they are full of shit!  The market is fine if you are an
H1 or are really cheap as I have been also told, but it is over if you
are an American.

Hey Anonymous keep the post coming awesome!  I am saving this stuff!

Kev.-
