[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been applying for gig / contractor jobs left & right, and getting absolutely no response. I finally got through to a recruiting team directly last week and was told that DC has "tax and labor regulations that impact many corporations' hiring policies" and that many corporations simply cannot meet the requirements.

I suppose it makes me feel a bit better, as in it is not necessarily *me*, per se, that is a horrid candidate but ... still isn't great.

Anyone else encounter this?

Yes!  I've been doing this kind of work for years and always upset because a lot of the companies can't offer work in DC.  Recently, I read that is because of alot of burdensome paperwork and employer requirements.[/quote]

such as what?  I would think new administration would target those for elimination if they are serious about reducing "regulations and bureaucracy" especially if they don't want DC to become a dump and want to sell those empty fed buildings.[/quote]
