True story, the guy that started FEDEX took the struggling startup company's last $5000 and took it to Vegas for a weekend and made enough to make their next payroll.

I know you know tech but don't know if its even your focus these days. anyway, I'm seeing a lot of HR types wanting certifications to be interviewed. If so in your field, since you are getting paid, might want to go get a cert. Now, once you are past HR, no one gives a shit about your certification. I ended up with around 25 technical certifications. I only had 2 fulltime jobs in my 25 years in tech by choice(contracting I received 30%-50% more money and had great benefits through my wife's work so it was a no brainer for our situation). Might consider if your wife gets good benefits. I never lost or changed a job based on performance. I'm sure this is true for you too. So maybe I found it easier to be unemployed than others. After taking a week or two off, I would always check Linked in, job sites etc. work on my resume, those certifications etc. I'm sure you will be gainfully employed as soon as you find the right spot for you. |

I've been laid off twice in the last five years. Each time I ended up with a better-paying job.
Today I make good money, fully remote with a the lightest workload of my career. Plus my boss is really nice. I don't plan on ever leaving. Your number one enemy in a job search is competition. You want to target the openings with the fewest number of applicants. Job boards all have lots of people squabbling over low quality positions. You would be better off finding recruiters with exclusive clients, identifying company websites with openings that aren't published elsewhere, or using word of mouth. Good luck! |

I recently read a book about a guy in the 17th century who became a pirate. Working as a regular ship crew paid a decent wage, but if you became a pirate and hit on a big ship, you could make 10 to 40 years of wages on one voyage. This fellow did that and hit on a huge treasure ship. He got his share of the loot, burned his pirate ship, and then went back to England, never to be seen again. So maybe consider piracy.

Can you play wide receiver? The Chiefs should have a temporary opening this season.

If you disagree with my posts and your only retort for your last 250 posts in response to me is "go bang a hooker you old fat ****", that tells me all I need to know about that persons IQ. They are Sofa King We Todd Did. Like a dopey parrot with Tourette's syndrome. A real simpleton. |

Just copied the job description text and my resume and told it to use both to write a cover letter and blam. For the hell of it I told it to mesh my resume to match to the job listing and it handled it too. Just had to make some minor tweaks to the output. |
