April/June seems to be an upswing point.  After four months with a
trickle of positions I had two offers in a week with another two or
three hot ones in the pipe.  Several other friends had the same thing
happen.  Suddenly we have much less time for drinking, but much
more beer money.

Yup.  That's how I got my current position and most of my interviews.
Don't go through the front door.  Drink with the Janitors.
