RE: Why they don't ask for candidates by technology skills.

Your situation and short contracts are so common in our field that a hiring
manager really cannot try to guess why a person has held many jobs. The only
time I am concerned is if a person has not ever done a large, complex
project that has taken them several months because most if not all of our
project fit into this category.

True. Of course now I feel self-conscious... I was laid off 3 times
within 2 years' time...

I think I'll add a "The bastitches laid me off!" line to my employment
history. ;-) I'll put it just above "They sank like a stone."
