Friends and the continued job search

I am amazed at what kind of response one can receive just in who he knows.
In February, I posted about how my employer is closing between now and July 1. That same day I e-mailed a list of friends. A few days later, @RizzoTees re-tweeted my post looking for an IT Project Manager position.

Well July 1st has come, and we are still open. Helping with the transition to the new corporation to be providing service and support. There are still some aspects of the job they are not ready to take over, so we will be around until they are.

Since February, I have applied to over 110 companies. All of the consulting companies (head hunters) have called me in for interviews, but most don't seem to go much further than that. A few (Apex Systems and Fast Search) have done a better job of keeping in touch than others. The only company that has given me a face to face interview is Edward Jones (they have since filled the position).

So here I am, still looking for the right opportunity. Could it be as a project manager or business analyst, or could it be running a winery? I know it's out there, just have to figure out where?

If you can help in any way, you can view my current resume here.
