"... the best way would be to improve your HR dept to be more responsive to job inquiries, specifically after one has gone to the trouble of filling out the on-line form and submitting. Waiting weeks before getting even some notification of receipt, let alone review, is BS." That seems to be S.O.P now in the industry. They post gigs, we respond, and BTW, they all want the full alphabet soup for their site's infrastructure (which we must already know down to the smallest nuts and bolts before we even darken their doorways) and then we hear either nothing at all, or nothing for weeks and weeks. I've sent in the stuff to LS before and got nada back. Same with hundreds of other places over the last eight years. Of course I only have 12 years in IT across multiple hw and sw platforms and applications, plus college and grad school, and decorated combat vet status. All apparently worthless, due to me being 55 or whatever.
Meanwhile, I'll apparently be driving, cleaning out, and washing rental vehicles for a local chain. Sweet! No cube farm, no pager, no cell phone. And 12 years of IT down the drain. As we continue to see mass layoffs and more savage and bloody competition in the job market, we're bled white by taxes, and our kids are still being fed to Moloch's jaws in endless foreign cluster****s. >
