I shipped out around 600 resumes. Towards the end, friends looked funny at me because I couldn't get a job.

2 1/2 weeks ago, I got submitted to a job for with a former boss, who hadn't hired a contractor in over 3 years. Wham, Bam, I got a job with good pay. (I start Monday...)

Since then I have been contacted by 5 recruiters, and a company from my former hometown just requested an interview, tomorrow at 9:30 AM local.

Crazy. (My unemployment ran out in April. Undoubtable some Wall Street Journal type would say I didn't get serious until my unemployment ran out, when nothing on my part changed in 2 years.)

This isn't a rant, I just shaking my head. How could I be so worthless 2 months ago and so in demand now....
You said it, life is strange... and sometimes even stranger. This happening to you is a gift, a gift you should cherish. But you know that... Congratulation and hopes that it's durable, two years is a long time between jobs.

What line of work are you performing in?
