Simcha, I'm in the same line of (no) work, but trying to do it in New York City with another 20,000 or so "involuntary freelance" developers, give or take an order of magnitude. My resume is on something like 10 different job boards and I'm working with 5 or 6 headhunters. Between Sept21 (when I got laid off) and Dec31, I didn't get a single call about a job.
So far this month, I've had five.
Two permanent, three temp. Wasn't the best fit for the first two, but just snagged a 4-6 month contract yesterday. The word out from the headhunters is that clients are calling again, so hopefully the business is picking up.
cheers,
flb
