Back on the job hunt

Welcome-to-reality

I wrote the above blog almost 3 years ago and here I am back at that same position.

Back at the job hunt again. 

Looking can be so encouraging yet so discouraging at the same time. So many positions out there that need to be filled, yet limited contacts to help get me in the door for an interview.

The hunt continues…if you want a copy of my resume or want to hire me – contact me.

#strava – I have logged many hours of riding on this app so I might actually start talking to locals about job opportunities in the area.

@linkedin – I have over 250 connections on here and I actually know almost all of them. That’s a bit different from the 500+ contacts I have on @twitter. I think I know 10 people on my twitter but who cares.

As I spend another night, the 10^th in a row being unemployed I am really shocked by the whole ordeal.

Having moved into a new role 9 months ago – a role heavy with Federal regulations, I thought I was making the right move. As long as we had regulations then I was pretty safe or at least I thought. I find it hard that a Fortune 500 company would be promoting vice presidents into roles that they could not forecast as being gone in less than a year. 

Over the last 3 years I had a son, bought a house, traveled to Europe and Brazil so it has been great. I just didn't see my role being eliminated. The role I left to take this one 9 months ago…yes I could see that one being eliminated 100% for sure. Our staff was being reduced and if you manage staff and you have less people there comes a time when you are not needed as a manager.

Still healthy, still positive and still have a college degree from an accredited university.

The beat marches on and I will land on my feet!

Spread the word and carry one!
