This paints a pretty stark picture. Has any else noticed an increase in unsolicited calls from head hunters and job offers? I am wondering if it's me or a leading indicator?

A good friend of mine is still looking for a job after graduating from college - and he's been suckered into scammy pyramid scheme interviews already.

Seems like the vermin come out to play when the economy is bad.

Funny/sad part is that he got this lead from a posting on my college's alumni jobs system.

Yeah, a lot of it looks scammy to me.

I have - e-mails more than calls, but still.
