Clue -
I recently completed that same workshop!
I posted the spread in a previous post on a some hiring thread.
It was very informative.
It seems that the internet is great for the researching and finding where the jobs my be - but you still have to put boots on the ground to get the job.
Sounds like some of our current military thinking who thinks you can win an insurgency or LIC with technology
Get out there - beat the pavement - make face to face contact with the people making the decisions and best of luck finding that job.
