More than likely you're thinking of me. I posted some long drawn out rambling about my job hunt experience over on T.T. I would imagine that bunch of hot air has expired, given those posts get deleted eventually. Problem is I can think and type relatively quickly. I've made some longer ones in the past, but try not do that so much.
I'll have to read through this and what's in the link that you posted.
When I was pursuing employment, a few things stood out clearly, but many things related to this pursuit did not. You don't get responses, you rarely get any insight as to whether your resume was seen by someone who counts, or it was tossed aside. In short, its not a good scenario, more so when approaching 50. Eventually, I just had to stop speculating as to why I was not getting results, just keep an eye on the ads and follow through. I've worked a few different jobs unrelated to my field to keep busy, for many years I worked 2 specific jobs to keep busy to earn what I can. There's a lot more than that to it, as well as an opinion or 2, but out of all this, the best way I can put it, is things have certainly changed over the years. What was a no brainer as far as getting hired in my field, became a complicated mess by the modern world. One recruiter I worked with for years, just could not get it done for me, cripes I could never even get past their regional manager and get submitted. I had one disagreeable young industry recruiter tell me to my face I was un-presentable. I took exception to that and got submitted at no fee, to a company I know, with someone in a key position that I knew, that's been there for years, it went nowhere regardless.
None of that matters now, I finally got it done, replied to an ad and that no brainer thing happened, hired at the interview and I'm proud to say, so far I'm doing well there. Its a great fit for me and there is longevity in that market. On that note, I have to end this here, because I have to get to work LOL !!!! Y'all have a great day !!!
