When life gives you lemons make grape juice then watch and listen to others wonder how you did it.

The problem with challenging times is inclination to do what others are doing - but then you have the situation where you're simply picking apples at the same orchard as everyone else. The only thing you can find are partially eaten apples and worms.

Al's gonna hate me for saying this but toss out Monster for a week - heck, no job boards at all - and see how you source. Same goes for biz dev - buy some $20 Starbucks cards, toss out the phone, and start dropping them off at people's offices or do they same when you meet them at association meetings, user groups or local conferences (I doubt you'd be traveling to conferences due to budget constraints but if you do consider this - less competition).

Try this - take your watch and for the next few days, wear it on your opposite wrist. Now's the time to do the same for how you recruit.
