Yeah I wish there was a filter for employers that actually need someone. Not just fishing the market for some sort of golden child that holds a PHD in compsci, works over 40 hours a week and will take little pay.

I'd accept a lot of situations if there were just a filter for employers that respect the 40 hour workweek. That alone is a major benefit, but no one wants to give it. These employers all deserve unions at this point.

Heldrida, thanks for responding. I appreciate your sympathy. I feel legit, and I have a track record -- I just don't know how to get slotted into the right place.
