I check local job postings daily to see what comes up. There is probably only 10 postings a day for a 50km radius around me, and of those there isn't usually any that fall into what I'm looking for. I've actually applied for two positions in the past week that seem to be kind of what I'm looking for, and I'd at least like to hear more about them.
Are you always keeping an eye on job prospects in your field? Do you ever apply?
