I was a headhunter for faculty for a major university for quite a few yrs. 10 seconds with a vitae and I was done.

So what you’re saying is that when a director level position was open, you spent 10 seconds on a resume and were concerned mostly about their name, the prior company name and what school they attended?

What do you recommend for a woman engineer re-entering the workforce. I’m working a few hours a week for my church, but haven’t had an engineering job in 20 years.

I don’t think I’m qualified for software anymore, but I think I’m more qualified for other things like software testing and management.

My resume is 3 pages, then I sometimes add a 2 page list of the different types of power plants and different design disciplines I applied in each.

It seems to have worked: Been “out of work” (looking for a job) only three weeks since since 1974. For the last four job changes, I stop working at one contract or company and begin the next day at the next one. Guess I’m breaking the rules there ...
