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....

Congratulations. I'm in a similar position - might have to up the ante on the applications - not quite at 600 yet. So I hope that as for you, 2 years and 600 are the magic numbers.
Good luck on your first day back at work. Enjoy.
