[quote=Anonymous]About 12 years ago, my project imploded -- fed contract where the budget was cut 85%; the only work that remained was to manage the facility and shut it down gracefully.

I was looking before, as I could see the handwriting on the wall (and I knew to read the congressional defense funding act).  But, when the layoff happened, I was still looking.  I put my resume up on various job boards, etc. as well as contacting all of the people I knew.

From the Washington post job board, someone searched and found my resume, and wanted to talk to me.  I went to the interview -- it was about 1/2 mile from my home in suburbia.  The owner of the company is talking to me....he said he was impressed because I am well educated and worked on a variety of projects....but he also liked that I was so close to the office.  He wanted someone who could be called if the alarms go off.  We talked for an hour, then he handed me about 300 pages of documents to review and to call him back for a technical interview.

Fortunately, the next day, a friend of mine had the perfect job for me -- and it was within the large company I currently worked for.  So, I just transferred to his group.[/quote]
