I have no current place of employment. I'm fortunate to be able to live without paid work for a long while. I'm possibly even retired from paid work altogether and not just from interviewing. This has happened a few years earlier than I had thought it would. I'm definitely in the "leanfire" category - I can be retired, but I'm going to have to be pretty frugal.

That said, I do occasionally get contract gigs through people I've worked with in the past where there are no interviews required, it's more like "Hey, we need someone to do this project and we know you can do it because you've done similar in the past - can you help us out?"
