Ok I got laid off back in June and it sucks. Have been sending out dozens and dozens of resumes with no luck of course. Then about two weeks ago I get a call on a Sunday night from a company asking me to come in for an interview. During the interview I find out that they received over 800 resumes for he position. Thats why he called me on a Sunday night. it was the only time he had to  look at resumes. Not that he looked at all of them . He told me he had someone cut it down to 100 and then he cut that down to about 8 people that he was calling. Well sadly I didn't get that job. Now I was looking today and saw a position with a company who's name I recognized. They had actually sent overflow work to my last job and I was the one who did the work. So I send my resume but then shoot an email off to my old boss asking if he knew anyone there and could put in a word for me. Get an email back saying he called the guy he know and was told to have me call ASAP. Of course I call and an hour later I am in an interview. Three hours later I get a call with the formal job offer. So I am no longer a drain on society and am back in the ranks of the employed.
