But whether or not you have to grab something like the dispatch job which is not in your chosen field, you can still keep your skills and contacts alive by doing some non-paid or spec stuff for various local media. Those things don't pay money but they are good to keep yourself in front of people in your industry and to have something to show that you've always been serious about working in media when the job market recovers. How about producing some stuff and putting it up on <a>PRX</a>? There are probably other channels as well.

I have a fair number of friends who'd agree with me, but that's hardly enough sample size for a true conclusion. I'm not sure what you mean about sentences not showing up. If you have your monitor set up at a low resolution, I could see how that might happen, but you should be able to hold control and use your mouse wheel to zoom in or out to get everything in view. What browser were you viewing in and what's your screen resolution? Thanks for the well wishes. I do think Efrain’s is that good, but I don’t know if I’m in the majority.

I really liked your comment on Efrain's restaurant - is it really that good? I am writing so I can procrastinate another few hours on an important task I do not want to concentrate on... Yes, the job market sucks, and no sense in false optimism. Sure I have advice but you do not seem to want any, so none from me :-). You might want to know that your website does not show the whole sentences on the right... I am not an expert, but have a decent monitor, so they should show. Just a random comment, not a criticism. My daughter codes manually, so I caught a snippet here and there. Have a ggod day and good luck with the job search! PH Hey, Ben (is it?)
