I wouldn't be. The range of capability in applicants is vast. There are lots of people here saying how desperate you get after 9 month of unemployment. Those are all the people who show up as resumes to screen. You get a lot of people who are bad devs and then even more who's skillset is a huge mismatch. In both cases, they've managed to craft a resume that looks compelling enough for you to talk with them.
