No sh*t, I got laid off in January and there is nothing out there

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.

Good luck to you! I have been looking/interviewing for months and there is nothing here.

Dump the HI-Bs, and there will be plenty available.
