I wouldn't be able to help but want to meet you. It'll bring in a few bucks, help Calgarians, and would be an ace up your sleeve in a cover letter and interview. Only a rad dude would do that.

Might also feel better than applying for a handful of jobs everyday knowing there is such a slim chance of something landing right now, although obviously keep applying. Sometimes a job search can almost be a full-time job, but this is not one of those periods. Too much free time with joblessness can weigh too heavy on a guy.

Easy to make my comment from the sidelines, though. I get that. Good luck.

Its a thought and a fallback, I did apply at some other opportunities, just to get my name out there. I'm going to continue my normal search til the end of this month, just to keep focus on leveraging my skill set, and focus on the search. But its in the back of my mind.
