Yes, the good old days were much better for job hunting. Now, where I live, almost everything is posted through a government agency, and I feel like I'm in the Soviet Union while job hunting. No more door-to-door impressing potential employers. Just stand in line for my turn with a frowning government employee who will print off online application instructions for me, then I never hear back from the potential employers. Those days of form letter rejections are gone. If I walk into a store to apply, they send me home to apply online which always takes a long time with those behavioral profile questionnaires.
