It depends on what type of job you are looking for... can you be more specific?

What do you do? Program Manager, Project Assistant, Program Analyst? Admin positions? You're not really giving us much to work with

Again it depends on what you do.

If you are looking for a administrative assistant job...those jobs fill quickly.

If you are a experienced engineer, or IT type. Jobs are easier to find.

Do you have a current clearance? If so that opens up the market more.

Do you have a degree? That opens up more jobs.

Seems like allot of software engineers are in demand right now (several contractors...don't have to look far). High level experienced Electrical Engineers as well.

contractor jobs are doing fine and hiring regularly (for the most part) if you're in the technical fields. if you're not, it depends on what you do and whether or not you have a clearance. the non-clearance admin jobs...don't bother, 1/2 of the town wants those and they're in limited supply.

I'm not trying to be vague, I'm just asking in general. Yes I have a clearance, Yes I have an advanced degree, Yes I have experience...I currently work in DQA and Export, and have several years background in both.

Is that better?
