How to get a job in a tough market?
teej: Is it really a tough market?  I worked for a marketing & web-design firm in Baltimore, and they were readily hiring and growing when I left.You can try this "hack" that my friend tried to land a job a few years ago.  He scraped craigslist job listings in his area, plugged them into a script that took the job requirements and inserted them into his cover letter & resume mad libs style.He just waited for the responses to come in and picked the best opportunity.
