John: not sure I can offer any more advice than what Wayner and Stomachmonkey have offered, but for whatever it is worth, I too am out of a job after having been constantly employed for the last 23 years in international sales. Unfortunately for me, it has been 5.5 months without a job and the future doesn't seem too bright as it stands now from a "corporate chasing" perspective. To further complicate matters, I am living overseas and the economy is in the tanks vs. a great run for over a decade, but wife is not too thrilled about the idea moving back to the States. I still have some funds to hold me over for a while, but will admit, it is starting to get to me....
