[Sigia-l] is it just me, or is it really hard to find IAs right now?

[Amy Kahn]

I agree with this approach wholeheartedly. I am also a freelancer with
years of experience, but I am in the Boston area, having moved away from
NYC 5 years ago when the bubble burst. It's heartbreaking to see so many
wonderful opportunities knowing that they may go unfilled, especially
when there are so many freelancers like me and Cheryl who are qualified
in every respect but geography.
