[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that a headhunter might be helpful, depending on your field, but sometimes they have the hard-to-fill jobs for a reason.

Also, in twenty years at one company, I would still hope you've had career progression and taken on more responsibility over the years.  That needs to be CLEARLY spelled out on your resume as different jobs, or else you will look pretty bad to employers.  I've heard from headhunters that their biggest red flags are candidates with less than 1 year at a company or more than 10.[/quote]

Definitely had lots of career progression.  Just curious why are people with more than 10 years experience red flags?  Does it matter that the company that I work for is in tech?  It is not easy to hold onto a job here unless you are very good.  There have been several large  layoffs that I've survived( 2000 time frame).  Since then  poor peformers are shown the door.  I worked in 6 different groups so it is not like I've done the same thing for 20 years.  I will reach out at start networking. I think the first thing I will start with are my undergraduate and graduate universities.  Maybe I should set a goal and try to reach out for about an hour a day.  People who haven't worked for the same company for 20 years are headhunters helpful?  Also what do you think about posting to job boards?  Do Tier 1 employers look there?  I currently work for a Tier 1/2 company.[/quote]
