Scary isn't it?  About 15 yr. ago when I was "between jobs" I applied for
a position with a local supermarket that was opening a new store.  Most
rigorous job interview procedure I've ever been thru in my life...all for
a p/t job that paid $6.25/hr.  Job market in the area was very tight
then...several large high tech companies were imploding big time.
