Hah, this project is shipping.. come hell or high water, or bugs, or nothing working. It is shipping irregardless.

Good time to secure another job?

I have been trying for a while and I will admit I am a little demoralized. I am actually debating bailing on what I am doing now and try something else. Even working for myself starts looking like an option ( although much more scary ).

If it's any encouragement, I just started a job after 14 months of unemployment.

I say this because it may be anecdotal evidence of a gradually improving market for job seekers.

And a reminder that 12 months of no offers doesn't mean they'll never come.

Good luck!
