Roy,
Good luck! Its a tough market out there. I don't know how things are in Israel, but in western Pennsylvania here is the States, things are bad. I've been looking aggressively for about 6 months (since the company I work for moved 1000 miles away to Orlando), and was looking nonchalantly for about a year before that.
I will say, though, that the market is finally picking up, although everybody is moving really, really slowly to fill the openings.
My advice, keep publishing the articles (although you may want to put them somewhere that gets a little more attention - DotNetJunkies?), and maybe work on getting a cert. Sure, certs don't mean much to us, but you'd be surprised what HR and the recruiters think...

I just removed a comment from this post. It had language that I felt was not appropriate for other people to be reading on my blog. Sorry Mr. Jobless. Next time please try and keep it a little cleaner.
Thanks.

This looks a bit worrying for MS job market in Israel :

good luck with the job hunt. The sad thing is that even when you have a job there is no job security any more.
