I love your story about your brother. One of my contacts that I reached out to has a lead for me that would translate to something that I am much more passionate about than what I have been doing so this could very well be a hidden treasure for me as well. @Ling :: I will be in touch via email, as it never hurts to learn of new opportunities. @paulette :: Thanks, networking is an amazing tool to use and return the favor whenever possible. @Damien :: Thanks!

I used to do some headhunting. Don't do it anymore, but I'll be happy to send you a few leads. You have my email. Send me your resume, and I'll send some current openings near you which fit the bill. In any case, wish you luck. Hi Derek. I used to do some headhunting. Don’t do it anymore, but I’ll be happy to send you a few leads. You have my email.

Not as a job, but probably something you could do for sure. I hate hearing when good people get the shaft because of the economy. My brother got laid off last month from a monster builder out here. There were just no more homes to sell. Now he's making his way starting his own company. When I asked him if it sucked to be going through it, he looked at me with 100% surety and said: "It's the best thing that ever happened to me Dame." I know my bro and I know he believes that. He was able to take 200k out of his retirement while he finds his way. He also owns several properties. Still, he would have never left the builder unless they laid him off, he says, and it wasn't a very good job in terms of long hours. Anyway, I will keep my ears and eyes peeled for opps for ya my friend. Keep on keepin on. That “rent a coder” service comes to mind as a first thought.
