Oh my.

The diet cola primitive, the primitive who turns on the oven without checking inside it first, to be sure there's not pizza or a cat in it, the primitive too lazy to cook a Thanksgiving dinner for his wife who worked all that day:

Year end as it started

out of a job.

Any openings for a decent cook who btw is an international written author, expertise on animation, video, audio, project architecture, in Northern Boston region, with lots of shrink-wrapped products to my credit (and on schedule), plus passion for skiing and little brittle sports cars. Oh, and music too, but I expect (hope) to make the majority of money through the computer stuff, 30 years in the work, from DEC systems to DOE 1 to DOS to Window 3.1 and it doesn't from there, picking up Mac system tools as I went along.

Anyway, all that.

Got anything?

1. I'll pass it around, Tab

Are you in MA? For some reason I thought you were in NH.

2. Are you feeling well enough to go back to work?

You have a very interesting and well rounded background, eh? As a self-taught user, I remember DOS

And now Grandma mentions the least-visited forum on Skins's island:

3. I'm really sorry to hear that, Tab.

If I were in the area and had a little influence, I would definitely put the word out. I think there is a DU forum for people searching for employment. I think this is it:

5. oh, I'm so sorry...
 
so many good people are looking for jobs....

There are some agencies in NH that still hire, and although I've only ever gotten 1 job from Craigslist - there's always hope...

like this...http://nh.craigslist.org/tfr/1519347230.html and http://nh.craigslist.org/tfr/1499100499.html

How long's Benito Bo been in office now?  I thought he already took care of this.

8. I wasn't really posting for a job,, just commisseration

What changed? I've changed - I've dealt this last year with cancer, cancer surgery chemotherapy, diabetes, alcoholism, blood infections, and anemia. That's just me.

Markets change too - budgets change too, including in-house budget fights.

Any or all of the above. I don't question anymore. Honestly I suspect I was hired for name only (in certain circles, I'm actually kinda respected, tho you wouldn't know it here  but I wasn't up to speed on the specific technology and you can guess from there.

6. But are you the same person you were last year?
 
What's changed?

My 2 pennies:

I've found that some surprising opportunities can come from what might seem the least likely places. Stay open to utilizing all those skills, hobbies AND the things you enjoy doing, in new ways beyond the traditional job descriptions. Pay attention to and follow your longings/instincts.

Like your efforts to meet with others around food/restaurant experiences, find some groups (as you've been doing here). Put yourself in new situations, doing things you love or would like to explore, with new people that can help to stimulate fresh perspectives and ways of seeing yourself.

Stimulating conversation can lead to unexpected ideas and opportunities...but I wouldn't let the need for a particular end result guide you. I'd just start out in a direction that calls to me and trust that in doing so you will find the experiences you need.

9. I did go back and look at that

there were no responses originally, but the current ones are encouraging. I am re-looking at that as an option.

There weren't any responses originally because the job forum is the least-trafficked forum on Skins's island.

Any bets that should read:

"Is the law still interested in you?"

and

"I haven't heard back since my booking." :-)

If he has that, plus that English-as-a-second-language phrase "international written author", on his resume, he should have some great job offers very soon.

Yeah, there is one there, but trust me, it's only a little itty-bitty tiny thing, and hardly any primitives pay attention to it.

On the other hand, the "disability" forum, which illuminates the primitives how to milk the system, is enormously trafficked.

Crockspot and NJPines, you both stole my post.  If that paragraph is how his cover letter looks, it's going right in the circular file.  And the tech cred?  My God.  Wasn't DOS circa 1985?  I used it in college.

Yes, he needs to focus on the local Denny's or some such, if he is indeed a decent cook.

Seriously, who mentions there hobbies and interests as though they expect them to play a key role in getting hired?  I can understand a line or two at the bottom of the resume to show that you are well rounded, etc., but listing them prominently when asking for leads?

It doesn't "what" from there? "Matter"? "Change"? "Improve"? It's an essay by an ESL student.

Windows 3.1!! I constantly catch grief for still having one machine on Win98. This DUmmy's problem is that he wants a job as some company's technical wizard, but he's sending out his resume on floppies.

No Sun, Lightwave, or Silicon Graphics experience in that power-packed (cough) resume, not even Amiga from 'way back in the days after Windows 3.1?  His so-called 'animation experience' must consist of watching Robot Chicken and anime on Adult Swim.

So in other words, he was a useless oxygen bandit at the start of the year and still a useless oxygen bandit at the at the end of the year.  At least he didn't lose any ground.
