Here's what that's like. Now keep in mind that I do Unix sysadmin, and know Windows, Unix, and Mac, all very well. I WAS the IT dept. in my last company. Lost my job there in Jan. of last year. Had my resume all over Monster, Hotjobs, and more. Sent in my resume to countless listings. First interview I got was about 5 months later. From where? Reference from a friend. Other interview right around that time? Also through a friend. Last interview, and where I'm at now? Through a woman I met in a class I was taking during unemployment. I totally gave up on the Internet stuff. I hope it's different now, but I don't get the feeling it is. Imagine how many resumes they get for one job listing. Hundreds, at least.
