I agree with Scott that there seem to be more jobs, but I also agree
with Michele that most of the recruiters that have called me recently
have Indian accents and can't seem to figure out that you can't commute
from Burlington to LA. This isn't meant to be a slam on anyone from the
subcontinent, just an observation. I don't even bother saying I'm not
interested anymore. I just treat the calls as I would any telemarketer
and hit the OFF button.
