Bruce, where do you live in the U.S./World? I forgot, and the 604 area code
doesn't ring a bell. Sounds like good news for your part of this beautiful
planet.

Subject: Economy Picking Up?
Has anybody noticed a sudden upsurge in the number of jobs available in
the last week or so? I don't know whether to attribute it to the fall of
Kabul (and the possibly false belief that the war is over), the
improvement in the stock market, the phrases of the moon or pure
coincidence, but, in the last week, I've had four employers contact me
about possible work. This may not sound like much, but it's a rate about
eight times greater than what I've learned to expect in the last few months.
Three of these possible jobs include marcom work, by the way -
specifically, marcom done from a solid understanding of the technology
being advertised.
Is anyone else seeing similar changes? I know people are still being
laid off, but maybe some hiring has started, too.

Oh, you can't be up-to-date if you don't call out when you meet,
'Are you working?' 'No, are you?'"
