Job market traction

I'm getting some good traction with my resume in the last three weeks. I've been on five (yes, count them, five) phone interviews. I've also been to three face-to-face interviews, and I've got at least two more scheduled.

I would estimate that from 1999 until 2004, I had sent out my resume to at least 200 job postings. I recall getting 2 email questions, two phone calls, and two face-to-face interviews. Those are some horrible, pathetic, ridiculously low numbers.

Previous to that, from 1993 to 1999, I sent out my resume less than 100 times online and offline, and I had so many interviews and offers, I would routinely turn them down and delete the voicemails. In fact, I was getting calls for interviews at the rate of at least once per week for several years.

It's been a long 7 or 8 years, but it seems like the thaw is melting.
