I have worked in this business over 30 years & I have not been able to land a position & it has been almost 2 months. All these assessments & keywords you must have on your resume. I am just not sure anymore that 30 year of experience means anything just because I am not sure which circle, square, triangle pattern is next....

I’m experiencing the same thing. My previous employer definitely catered specifically to ONLY the younger folks whether they had the experience or not or whether they were even any good at their job, as long as they were yes folks, younger individuals . It’s a whole new world out there, unfortunately.

I was told by a recruiter to only put the last 7 years on my resume and indicate that past experience would be available upon request. They may not want to pay top dollar for a 30+ year veteran and are concerned about retirement.

It’s a hard job market overall. I’m more than a decade into the industry, and it took me more than 4 months to find something. Keep your head up, keep applying, you’ll land a good one eventually

Are you willing to relocate to DFW?

Definitely agree. I have found that either snipping off some of my past experience or just plain 'dumbing' down my resume is not even effective. The problem with my past experience is that I have stayed at almost all of my jobs for 5 years or more, therefore my experience appears lacking if I cut any out.
I have noticed, however, that if you know anyone at a certain company, it helps dramatically. Do you network? I moved to an area where I know nobody so went to every public networking event out there. I started with 'meetup.com' where the people I met always had other groups to tell me about. It has helped me quite a bit. Good luck!!!

Where are you located?

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it.

I prepared a presentation for an interview with a sales leader, it went well and I was offered a final interview with regional manager. The sales leader I interviewed with gave me a bunch of feedback, but said to find out information about tech stack, which I for some reason, didn’t consider. I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?
