No amount of resume sending, networking and the like got me anywhere for two months.
By some strange coincidence, not long after Trump was elected, I finally scored my first interview and then another and another.
Long story short, I not only defied the odds of 60 something professionals getting another job, but another job which paid better, gave me a private office, more responsibility and two large computer screens where I used to have one. Best of all, the poisonous PC atmosphere is gone and the crooked PC boss has been replaced by an honest professional.
The former company had to hire two people to take my place and demoted the crooked ex-boss so he is no longer in charge of my former department. They've lost a number of people since and have had to hire from the outside to replace them, often at higher prices and even some from the same age bracket because they couldn't find competent younger help.
Thank You, Jesus.
