经济好时软件机会多，现在竟争激烈，特别在加州。

找到工作的应该告诉大家专业方向和地区。东部就业好转了，上次有个网友说她在纽约地区的Java程序员朋友最近都找到工作，加州还是死水一潭，一个机会要忽悠几十上百人。三个UI职位，500多人申请。看看一个朋友转来recruiter的email.

You recently sent me a resume for one of the three positions I have been recruiting for. I have received a huge response (over 500 resumes for 3 positions) and am down to recruiting for one final position - a UI engineer. If you are still interested in the UI position, let me know. They have pretty high standards for this position (UI engineer with a CS background in Java, but also with Javascript/AJAX,CSS, DHTML, etc) but in the event that I overlooked your resume, send me a note and I can review your resume. My apologies for not getting back to you individually, but with hundreds of resumes coming in over several weeks, doing so would be impossible.

经济好时加州机会多，不好时竞争比哪里都激烈，人才太过剩。

一个DBA朋友说，一个普通DBA职位65个人争。失业一年的大有人在。像2006年那样的经济形势不知是否还会再来。
