Officially 'Independent' and Relocated

I am feeling liberated, for the first time ever without a new position or knowing when I'll be starting a new job. It's pretty disconcerting, but also strangely great (if only it weren't for concerns about having a steady income, I'd really be able to enjoy the time at home with Will and the cats). I'm in 100% job search mode now and finalizing the contract for some independent consulting work. I'm so glad to be free of KBACE, and the constraints of corporate HR, at least for now.

That said - I'm still looking for a new job

In spite of all of that, I'm still looking for a new job, so I can move out of Fitchburg and back to New York (Albany area) to be closer to family. HR jobs seem to be few and far between right now, with lots of people laid off recently. I'm trying to expand my online presence, to network and be one of those sought-after "passive job seekers" so I'll be found. One frustrating thing about Twitter - my thoughts are too long winded and I may give up in favor of this.

Someone should make Match.com for job search and recruiting. I'd be happy to take a personality test and a skills assessment to be matched up by 'chemistry' to the right employer/opportunity. If anyone finds me on the web and wants to work on a business proposal, I'm slow at work right now so I'd be happy to put in some time on this during the day.

Update - there is a site that says it does this: www.realmatch.com. The jury is still out as to whether this actually works, especially since it only gets jobs from participating companies, not aggregating from other job boards or career sites like simplyhired.com or indeed.com.
