... is that you're not "focused" by geography. I'm sure that there are many people in the Socal region looking for work, and many of them are qualified for what you want to do. The trick is, those people aren't looking in here for potential jobs. Frankly, 99% of those who you'll find in here are already working. Those who aren't working probably don't have current access to Pro/ENGINEER... and most of us see the "Pro/E forums" from within the Pro/E application itself. You'll find lots of qualified folks here, but the odds of finding an unemployed, qualified person in your immediate commuting region are pretty slim. I recommend putting up a "Monster" advertisement instead. It will cost you a few dollars but it will give you what you need... geographical "filtering" and exposure to UNEMPLOYED people, but still people who know/use Pro/E. By the way, are you looking for "contract" or "direct?" From what you say, I would tend to assume you're talking "contract," but that's unclear. You're unlikely to find what you're looking for (or seem to be looking for) as a "direct" but can probably find lots of options for "contract" guys.
