Good luck and keep your head up. It's a tough time. I said my prayers for myself on Monday and survived my company's first round.

I suggest networking inside your company and also going to some online sites like Linked In. PM me and I'll be happy to add you. I've got a few hundred contacts and you never know what might happen.

An online IT friend came out here to the SF Bay Area recently and the IT market isn't the best. But that isn't to say it's like that everywhere. Good things can happen and unexpected times. I found my current job only a month after 9/11 AND the tech markets were tanking.
