I've applied to between 550-600 jobs since December and hardly heard anything back. The past two weeks recruiters started reaching out to me and at this point I'm at least having early round discussions with 5 companies. They're mostly smaller and somewhere in the health care space, but I went from virtually 0 to having something. Obviously it's early stages so you can't count on anything, but it looks like things may be picking up again.

I cannot comment on that but anecdotally I can say that I normally do not see a lot hiring during the holidays and a lot of firings in March and Q2. I have no explanation for the March thing.
