Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well, I got turned down for another job today, one of the jobs for which I had a second, face-to-face interview. I'm pretty bummed about it. I've spent 21 years developing what I thought was a pretty terrific skill set, I've been told that I interview well, and I have a great resume. I'm open to moving to positions in pretty much half of the country. But no one wants me. Apparently I've spent two decades making myself utterly worthless.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh Calli, how demoralizing. And it's not true, but I get why it feels that way.
Hil, I know the not-Jewish thing can feel daunting, but a good connection is definitely worth exploring.

Thanks, Burrell.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
Calli, I'm not sure if you're just willing or really wanting to move but, if it is the latter, you may want to think about deciding where you want to live and just moving there. When I was in your situation and was being turned down for job after job, I finally had a HR person tell me that companies didn't want to hire an external candidate who had to move unless it was for a senior executive position. I took the leap and moved, worked a retail job for a while and then found my current position which I wouldn't have even known about if I didn't live here. I know that I was lucky to have some savings (and my 401k as a last resort) but I ultimately decided I'd rather go through my savings in the place I wanted to live instead of in the place I wanted to leave.

It's more a willingness to move than a burning desire. The area to which I'd most like to move has fairly high unemployment, so moving there without a remote position wouldn't make sense, alas. I have been applying to as many local positions as I can find. But five out of the six positions where I've had second interviews have been out of state, so I don't even know what is going on. Except job offers. I'm pretty sure those aren't happening.
