Now, I have more selection. I run an ad now for a week, I get at least 20 apps in. People aren't being quite as demanding as before.
Its quite the seesaw battle. I wish there was a more even keeled ground but sadly right now there isnt.
I wish you well in your search for employment.

As an employer I totally agree with you.
18 months ago not only would I get few resumes but I had one girl show up for work one day and she never returned!
Another one told me she needed a week off because her grandmother died, then I found out she went to Las Vegas with her boyfriend!
I was layed off over a decade ago and its not fun, but, as an employer I'm thankful to have a really great staff again.
