Hey ZMan,

   I get the impression you think you are arguing with me when you are 
actually repeating my point.  I said, in part --

"In an expanding economy ... candidates with experience are viewed with 
suspicion..."
but
"In a contracting economy ... companies know that the really the topnotch 
people are out there ..."

We are currently in a contracting economy with, as you said, "companies 
going belly up" and "whole teams let go".   This results in "plenty of well 
qualified and experienced techies out there," many of whom have specific 
healthcare experience which makes their resumes more attractive for jobs in 
that industry than is Mr. Brunk's resume (or mine.)
