Buncha amateurs.
I live in Forbes list number one small city where it’s hardest to find a job.
My problem is the opposite. We have a low unemployment rate and hundreds of new jobs are being created every week.
And I cannot get one, no matter how hard I try. And that is with 20+ years in Information Technology and Project Management Certification.
One company I applied for was looking for a PM to move a data center from one city to another. In the past, I ran projects like that maybe 15 times, moving upwards of 1000 servers, all the communications, storage as well as worked with the architects on the buiding design and data center floor plans.
They tell me I don’t have enough experience to move 100 servers.
Then I apply for a position as a Project Coordinator, doing all the admin. They tell me I am overqualified.
I can’t get a job serving coffee at Valero, and that is with a Help Wanted sign on the window.
I think it is time to go into business for myself. This is ridiculous.
