Howdy,

There are very few tech jobs right now.

No secret lists. No golden recruiters. No elite.

Some of the smartest people I know in this industry are out of work right now. The bozos ruined it for us. Big time.

My best advice is to use your newfound Objective-C and Cocoa skills to work on an independent project that you sell on the web. Come up with an idea, don't tell anyone about it, don't release a bunch of betas. Finish it, put it out there, and give people a taste but make them register after using it for 5-10 days or so. Like Watson did.

Don't forget that the Mac market (and OS X inside of that) is very small. Regardless, if you "hit one out of the park," you won't have to work for a while, and you won't be searching for that job you barely even want to take.

The market sucks right now. The only way out is through innovation.

Or through an H1-B, but don't get me started on that, because some softies will call me a "racist" or "nationalist" or something for believing that US citizens should be hired before people visiting from other countries. Just try finding easy work in another country with a US passport... ;o)

Steve
