Mmyke - Great tip, I've been using that exact tactic

Dhey - very interesting story, hopefully she found some luck shortly after you did!

Qatarisun - Don't we all wish to get intoxicated and happen to speak (with the least bit of slurring) to someone who offers you a new position in a far away land! What a dream!

Shapil - I don't believe searching for positions one is qualified for is a waste of time, but I do agree networking is very important. I believe the figure is 70% of jobs are found through networking!
