I would say it's fairly common. I know I do it (although I try
to make a point to return the calls and emails I get, I sometimes
overlook a few) and at least a couple of friends I know do the
same thing, I believe.

In my case, I keep my resume "active" even when I'm not
really "actively searching" for work, on the theory that
if something comes along that's my "dream job" I might
pursue it.  Everybody else gets a "sorry, not looking
right now" response.

Also, and you probably already know this, but I
suggest posting to all the local mailing lists related
to the job in question, and solicit resumes that way (if you
haven't already). I'm pretty sure there are at least a couple
of JUG members who are still looking for work.


TTYL,

Phillip
