[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband, like thousands of others in the area, has been out of work for over a year now. He has literally not gotten ONE interview from the hundreds of jobs he's applied for. I'm at my wits end. Will he ever work again? I think after 25 years in the same job, his network is all in his field. He's highly skilled, willing to go down in level, salary, all of it. But ... are there any jobs out there? Are there recruiters that would be good for someone with skills in program development management, grants, social impact? He has experience in South American, Middle East, Eastern Europe and the Caribbean. He's managed portfolios of hundreds of millions of dollars. Do they care about people that have this amazing government experience doing the work internationally? How do you make it transferable?

We've done all that work to adapt the resume, put in the key words, etc. etc. I've networked as much as I can with my network. Does the rest of the country realize how bad it is for these people thanks to Elon Musk?

I'm ranting... thanks for letting me rant... Most days I keep my stress in check, but this year plus mark is really getting to me.

Any advice welcome... especially about local networking events even. [/quote]

lowes is hiring.

really, his skills is managing the giving away of someone elses money ??

what skills are required for that?

based on the outcomes USAID should have been closed a long time ago.  What would happen if India decided to help the poor people in Ashburn by donating money.   It would all go to the politicians and their supporters, very minimal would go to poor people.

and clearly how the market has valued your DH is confirmation. [/quote]

My DH may need a job, but he is smart, funny, talented and loved, whereas you need mental health help because you must get a thrill from being nasty on anonymous message boards. [/quote]
