I got laid off in January too. I have applied for hundreds of jobs and I have had only one job interview for an engineering job where 2000 people applied for. I didn't get the job.

Two years ago, I could have applied for 50 jobs and interviewed with five or six potential employers.

Every headhunter and HR person I have talked to has said employers need engineers very badly, but are not hiring because of the uncertainty in the economy as a result of the war.

I am right there with you. Law degree and no jobs. :-/

You're right - but I've saved my income tax return and I'm about to begin making T-shirts. I made the designs about a year ago and now I'm talking with Hanes about producing them.
