	Or fewer interviews...

	1980 -- after graduation, I only managed 3.5 interviews (the .5 was a
phone contact from a Lockheed Texas branch -- but I'd accepted the Lockheed
Sunnyvale offer only a few days prior.

	In the six month unemployment after my first lay-off (~2002), my only
interview required lots of former co-workers suggesting me back to another
manager at Lockheed (HR was going: we laid him off, why should we hire him
back now?). They took me back the week after unemployment and severance
benefits expired.

	Second lay-off I didn't stick around the high cost of living Bay Area;
I took the severance and moved to MI, and had to beg a complex to rent a
unit to me (credit score and showing my savings account with lots of
severance -- and an agreement to pay the rent in 6 month chunks, got me
in).

	Only snagged one interview in the subsequent year. And I'm struggling
at that job... Embedded avionics was not in my prior experience, and they
seem to expect one to be able to change software one has seen only an hour
earlier.
