Re: Being Laid Off

Before landing my present position, I learned a trick with Monster and 
Careerbuilder etc. If you go in once a week ( I always did it on Sunday 
nights) and update your resume ( I would  just erase a line and retype it) 
you get put back to the top of the list when headhunters go on there to look 
for resumes. I got both my present position and the contract I did last year 
by doing that.

Also I would at least talk to any headhunter that calls you, they can be a 
pain but it is worth talking to them, and being very cordial even if the job 
does not interest you. The headhunter (recruiter I guess is the appropriate 
term) :) that found me my current position had called me about two other 
ones that I was not interested in, but because of those phone calls I was 
the first one in line when this position came up. Also when dealing with a 
recruiter, remember they are working for you and not the other way around. 
:)

Good luck and we are all pulling for you!

PS. You don't hear much about the site on here, but I also had good luck 
with Computerjobs.com
