I'm still not sure how she got her hands on my resume, but I had been in the job market for way longer than I'd like to admit. I had never been in a position where I couldn't find a job. I never had before been on an interview and not been offered the job. Now I could barely even get interviews. And the ones I did get, I wasn't terribly excited about to jobs or companies - but in this market can you be that picky? In my past, the jobs I did have were through people I know. I figured the good jobs now were going to people that had an inside track, as it seemed the positions were filled before or on the day they were posted.
