I hope that you find something quickly, and that it is a position which still allows you to maintain OTB.

Thanks, all. And, yes, it has occured to me that a job in the Intelligence Community might preclude continuing the blog, at least in its current form.

I'm so sorry. If you want to email your resume to me, I can forward it to some folks.

Jen and SMASH,

Thanks! Resumes are already sent to both of you.

I have a couple former students who work at the DIA -- apparently their decision and clearance processes are the quickest of all the Intel agencies.

Good luck. Link to my site if it pans out ...

I blame the evil Bush economy.

Seriously, hope this is a *very* temporary position, and that the new gig allows you to maintain the blog.

Sorry to hear it, James. But you're too good to be idle for long.

Wish I had advice or leads, but I have never actually had a job, so I've no experience in looking for one.

But if you need tips on how to skip out on the bill collectors or stretching a box of Kraft Dinner into 3 days of meals... you know who to ask!

But something tells me you'll land on your feet. Any potential employer who google searches "James Joyner" is going to find some impressive stuff.

I'd hate to see this blog end so quickly after I found it. My sympathies on this bad day, but good luck on the next.

I agree with the others above that you are too good to be idle for long. Unfortunately, don't know anyone in the industries you are pursuing. So keeping fingers crossed that something will turn up. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

James, sorry to hear about your sudden unemployment. If you'd care to send me a resume, I'd be more than happy to get you into the pipeline at my company. If you don't currently have a clearance, it could take a little time--but we're looking to hire lots of folks into intelligence-related work.
