Job Hunting

bump for interest

Yeah I am interested too.

Why would you even leave your job thats paying good money unless you were about to be forced out? The economy is really shit, its not like the 80's where you could quit a job on Wednesday and have a better job by Monday.

My advice is start saving every penny because there is a chance you may not get a job and will have to survive off of savings alone.

They're changing my job role to something I really don't want to do. This isn't unique to me, everyone's job is getting changed throughout the department, but I don't want to be a part of it. Everyone is abandoning ship.

i just bailed from my job. i'm an old fag (35) and i was making a decent amount of money ($150k, not NY or SF). my old company is small.

this is what i did:
-go on a fishing expedition on indeed to see what's available all over. i work in an industry with not that many jobs, and i am single, so i could basically move wherever.
-look at recent turnover at some places that i think would be interesting. if there's a new senior person, they often want to hire some of their own mid/junior people to have some people who are "their people".
-if something seems promising, reach out to some people on linkedin at places that might be interesting to feel things out.
-start talking to people in my personal network, quietly.
-former bosses who think highly of me have been the best sources of jobs for me. i suck shit at networking, but my bosses have always gone to bat for me.

What's your job/industry? I would suggest contacting recruiters and letting them do the work for you. Worked for me.

This. You need to put your full resume and a professional picture on Linkedin. The recruiters will quickly descend on you with opportunities. Be careful because they have every incentive to place you in a high-turnover hell hole because they churn a lot of commissions.

does your uni have a job board? Mine often posts non-entry positions for alumni

other than that I would say your best bet is to ask around/""""network""""" because in my experience people have far more success getting jobs from someone they know than just applying out of the blue
