Dude, you have a great resume there. If you want, I'll do a style tweak to it, add some skillsets and just reorganize it to be more eye catching (and still scannable).

You should then submit to careerbuilder, monster, and the temp agencies. That should get some good pings.

Sold for a six pack of diet coke, or a six pack of the yummy natural rootbeer Ri buys. :) (Cause the bastard hooked me on the stuff this weekend, and now I got a habit. ;))

Good luck!

I called them today, and they said they wanted someone with a either a degree or some experience in "Environmental Impact Statements" containing doctored data that supports continuation of pollution as usual to meet contract specifications. Sorry about that - I should have checked before saying anything.

Here's a website that's offering similar services to the ones you're doing now (not that this is a good thing, but it offers flexibility and it's in Rockville).

They have both onsite and at-home transcription. I believe the bill themselves as a "legal transcription services" firm.

This one looks like the job from Hell, but would probably pay you upward of 45K per year:

That said, SAIC is EVIL. Run while you still can. They make a living by swallowing smaller corporations and spitting out the seeds. Or was that CACI. They all begin to fade together after a while...
