in reply to Job Market Fall '02 issues

You're getting interviews? I've sent out close to 250 resumes my self and I have had 2 interviews. The first I was told that "we were wquite unprepared for the amount of appliations we received." They had 2 weeks of interviews lined up. You just can't compete in that setup. The second, was a part time phone support for Win98. Again, a lot of people applied. I just got a letter from a place that I applied for, part time bank teller. In 5 business days they had 76 people apply. So it's not even really IT. It's everything.
