If anything, consider July/Aug a great time to just network and chat. Make those calls to friends and colleagues and just shoot the sh*t with them. Don't make it so much about "hey I need a job"... show that you care, have a personality, can listen to them, and find ways to help them out (ie advise, or sharing leads, etc...). Who knows, you might even get a free coffee out of it or even some wings. But don't give up... the squeaky wheel eventually gets the grease.

Looks like I finally have a contract offer coming in... wow rates have sure declined especially for senior guys. Better a low-rate than a NO-rate.
