Yeah, there's been untold legions out here carpetbombing the world with their resumes since I was laid off last May.

There's such a flood it's nearly impossible to get an interview, or even get a resume with significant technical experience actually read carefully in a lot of cases. Anybody who's ever touched Word or Frontpage is suddenly billing themselves as a a "web programmer". Feels like a real Gresham's Law situation from here.

I'm kind of hoping some of the people who got sucked into computing over the last five or ten years by insane levels of demand will go back to doing whatever it was they were doing before.
