    Wrong. It's a market. It ebbs and flows. I was looking for around 4 weeks before whoosh I had two gigs lined up all at once (a first for me, and not showing off, but it shows how markets can turn).

    Don't be disheartened. Every application is one application nearer your next gig. This is just basic sales and laws of averages.

    Also jobserve is not the only site.

    Plenty of smaller job boards and alternatives. Also start building your linked in network, rehashing your old clients etc. Perfect time of year to invite old bosses out for a drink as you "will be in the area".
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

        Not yet but it's looking more positive.... Part of me wants a few weeks off to relax and start a plan B.

        p.s.
        thanks for asking
