“This is definitely a job seeker environment right now.”
Not for me. I haven’t had a job since October 2018, because whenever I have applied for a job, I’m told I am overqualified, which may also mean I am too old. Four decades of work experience, good health and good work habits is worthless, when the employers would rather hire someone thirty years younger than me, and pay him/her an entry level salary.

Do you know how to do to value stream mapping?
When I wanted to get a job at great companies and no high-paying jobs were available, I just wanted to get my foot in the door. Back when WordPerfect was DOS, you could assign any three-character extension you wanted.
My foot-in-the door ticket was “resume.duh” and totally pared down so it wasn’t obvious I was over qualified. Once in, I worked my ass off and was promoted quickly in companies like GE.
Those were times when it was to my advantage to NOT have a college degree. I had only “attended” college. Because of human nature it was hard to minimize accomplishments, but in the end it “paid off” (so to speak).
