No – since august 2009.

Someone stated the job search as demoralizing, it certainly feels that way sometimes.

My opinion and talking with others, I believe it will be another year or so before it feels like everyone is back in the swing of things. I hope its not longer and I hope the profession doesn’t lose quality professionals.
