Post your resume on Monster.com and Workopolis. Recruiters actively
scour the posted resumes especially for legacy skills such as yours.
The downside is you'll have to deal with recruiters, but if you're
batting .000 this may be the best choice.

Already posted on Monster, Dice.com, and Careerbuilder, along
with a couple of smaller sites. I get single calls, send in
the "most recent copy(? wtf?)" of my resume, and then silence.
The few times I try to follow up, I leave unreturned messages.


I have a friend who used to be an IT recruiter, and he told me how the
business actually works.

I think it's changing, and not for the better.

Cap.
