I just had a totally out of the blue call from a dental supply company that is looking for a controller/operations manager. The owner saw my profile on the HAPPEN (networking group for unemployed professionals) website, liked it, and figured I was local based on my phone # (whatever it takes right?) and wants to interview me. So I have an interview next Tuesday at 3.
Still continuing to send out resumes. --splitimage

Thanks Pegasus, Beholden and Notz.
I got more positive news today. I got home from shift on the phone lines to a message from someone in HR at Sick Kids Hospital. They want to do a phone interview with me on Mon. afternoon. It's only the preliminary screening round, but it's the first positve response I've had to an application I made strictly to a job ad. It's for a senior financial analyst position. And Sick Kids would be great - stable, great benefits and a good pension plan.

So I had my interview for the controller's job, not sure how it went. The interviewer wasn't very skilled, and had almost no questions for me - basically she spent 30 min. telling me what areas they need help in, so I had to keep politely interjecting how my experience would make me perfect for the job. The money is ok, and they have a decent benefits plan, but no pension plan of any sort, so that's a downside. Also they're not sure if they want to hire someone full time right off the bat or start with someone part time. I made it clear that I'm only interested in full time.
My phone interview for the hospital job went well, and I got called for the first round of inperson interviews. So I have an interview tomorrow (Thurs.) morning. I really hope I do well, because this would be a great job to get. Also had contact today with a recruiter who is recruiting for two positions that meet my salary criteria and fit with my experience. He's emailed me the job descriptions and the company info so I can do some research and decide if I want to apply to either one. Of course i want to apply to both, but don't want to sound desperate, so I'll wait until tomorrow morning to e-mail him back. Sent out 5 resumes to job adds on Mon. too.

Well I had my interview at the hospital this morning. It was really intimidating - a 6 person panel. But I stayed calm, smiled a lot, and made sure to vary my voice (I tend to talk in a monotone when I'm nervous) and made eye contact with everyone.
I obviously did well, because I had barely made it home, when they telephoned me to come in for a second interview, and could I come in tomorrow. So I have my second interview tomorrow at 9. The best part is, it turns out that they're recruiting for 3 positions, so while I don't want to jinx anything, I think I have a decent shot at getting one of them. Also told my recruiter to put my resume forward for the two jobs today, which he has done, so hopefully I might get an interview from one of them. --splitimage
