[quote=Anonymous]Happened to my dad around that age, and similar circumstances (low cost of living area with limited senior level job opportunities). He got let go because of a merger and they cleaned out all the senior level staff in his office and had the mid-levels report into the corporate office of the company that bought them (which was outside the area). My dad found a job pretty quickly in local government for about 1/3 of his salary. He accepted to avoid a gap in his resume, but continued to look. About 16 months later, a position opened up at his former salary/level at one of the only other big companies in his town. He took that job and ended up finishing his career there (retiring at 65). In small towns, networking is even more important. When that job opened up, the hiring person knew my dad from golfing and called him directly to see if he wanted the position.[/quote]
