The best jobs I've had were all handshake deals, short and simple.

The 10-hour ones (screenings, exercises, interviews ad nauseam) are usually still open months later. It's not you--it's them.

You know that's been pretty true for me, too. Often when one gig looks like its winding down I've met people and formed strong enough relationships that something else pops up, but this last startup was a mismanaged mess that fell apart for me in five months, so I sort of got caught by surprise.
