I lost my job of 25 years and I am lost. I feel useless and that I wasted so much of my youth! Looking for a new job and not even getting responses. Any luck out there?

Did they at least give you a severance that can support you for four or six months? Firstly, you should take a little time. Secondly, freelancing is a very easy way to pick up cash while you search.

But I've always had luck picking up freelance gigs between jobs whenever I've not had a fte and I've freelanced DURING times of severance and been double paid

Sorry to hear that. It is difficult out here if you’ve lost your job, I get it. I was laid off last April and I haven’t been able to find a permanent position with a company that I really want to work for, in a setting that I would like to work in. They’ve been all contract roles over the past 13 months. To be fair though my father passed away and I’ve been taking care of estate related issues, and I had to go out of state, and out of country to sell properties that he owned, and deal with probate court. Life is hard sometimes.

Anyway if you need help with your resume let me know, I don’t mind helping out. Hope things go better for you!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
