Probably not. ;-)

My site has many career and resume articles fro different 'job search
situations'. For example, if you consider that the most important
'employability' factor is you age, see these articles:

http://www.easyjob.net/career/job-interview-tips-for-seniors.html
http://www.easyjob.net/resume/senior-resume.html
http://www.easyjob.net/resume

If you have been unemployed for a long time and you think that is
reducing your chances of getting a new job, please see the articles
resulting from this search:

I'm not aware of your situation, but have you considered other options,
besides getting a job? You don't need a lot of money to start a
software business, for instance.

Good luck! :-)
