[quote=Anonymous]DH is a government contractor and may lose his job this summer. He is obviously depressed at having to be back on the job market at this stage in his career and as a result isn't getting into action. Two colleagues at other companies have his resume, and he seems to be waiting on one of those to come through, but otherwise is unwilling to cold call or apply elsewhere feeling as if no one will want a guy with less than a decade until retirement. We had kids late so still have two kids to get through school and college. I work but we aren't in a position to magically become a one income family for the long term. I'm looking for advice or support. Is he right, there's no point in someone job searching at his age? If you or a spouse have been in this situation, how did you snap out of it?[/quote]
