I've had a hard time finding a job, but I just think its because the senior level positions I have been interviewing for are really competitive. People think that having 10 years of experience like I do on a resume makes job searching easier, but its the opposite, because that means you will be applying for high paying senior level jobs and in order for someone to pay you that kind of salary they will fully vet you before investing that kind of coin in employing you. You have to do several rounds of interviews and if just one person doesn't like one thing you said, poof you're done. It's all luck.

I also am greatly missing the on site panel interview. I've always had a lot of success when I actually meet those interviewing me in person because I am so good at working a room and allowing my presence and energy to sell myself. These virtual interviews take that away from me.

I am not looking for anything in television or media, though. I am done with that industry. It's a cancer that I no longer want to be a part of. It made me sick working in that industry. I specialize in data science, market research, and analytics, so I can do that in other industries. I've interviewed for all kinds of fields over the last 3 months. Sadly there is a lot of snobbery from those who interview me which don't believe my skills can transfer outside of media for some reason.

The "tolerant" left strikes again. But you're best off not working in that dying business. I gave up on media two decades ago--it was bad then. Can't imagine what it's like today. The friends I still have on the inside are miserable.

I justified it by saying local news is different than national network or cable news. And it was, at first. But Trump caused that to no longer be the case and then local news was infected with TDS and became indistinguishable from national news.

An anchor I worked with in Cedar Rapids, IA, Ashley Hinson, is now a Republican congresswomen for Iowa's 1st district. I've noticed that the anchors lean conservative because they are fine with being anchors, because they care more about issues that matter in the community instead of politics, and don't have aspirations to be Washington DC correspondents for a national news bureau. To accomplish that you have to be a dyed in the wool leftist.

That's how it is in a news station. News Director, Producers, Assignment Editors, Marketing, Promotions, Social Media, and the Journalists/Reporters are leftists. The anchors are center or right. Sales staff are right wingers.

That's what it said on her fb. The original person that got me fired up was a tranny who is black, that said blacks cannot be racist. That individual is on a school board in a decent sized town that's a shithole. Then this chick jumped in because I put a tranny meme

Many times companies will ask “Would you hire this person again?”

My most recent company would say no, and I could see that being a reason I am not getting offers. Not because I did a bad job - I created and led a department from the ground up, but because they had a personal vendetta.

The previous 3 employers would all give a resounding yes.

I was careful. They found out who I was because on /r/cfb I had mentioned I played football at TCU and was active in the /r/sandiego subreddit at the time. Probably didn't take them long to be able to find a TCU grad who played football living in San Diego on LinkedIn

I did do this, actually. The number of interviews I have been able to get has exploded. I've interviewed with 22 different companies in the last 2 weeks. I am still having a hard time closing the deal.

This past week I had a company reject me after making the final round because the take home assignment I was given and completed, was "too good". They were going to offer me, but instead wanted to schedule one more 30 minute call, which I hop on and was berated for the entire 30 minutes about my motives, how I was over qualified, too good for the role, and had to justify myself as to why I would not get bored in the role, wouldn't be a flight risk and jump for a better job after only a few months, etc. etc.

I had another company in which I made the final panel interview for. I decided to withdraw because I just wasn't sure if the role was the right fit for me in terms of my capabilities. The interview required me building a 45 minute presentation(which is a lot of work) and I was just not feeling the role enough to justify me spending that amount of time on a project, especially because I was juggling other take home assignments for roles I felt like I was a better fit for. I let the recruiter know this and they practically begged me to still interview anyway, even offering to up my salary ask by $20k and not having to do the presentation. So I go ahead and still interview, and they ghost me. Why did they beg me to interview if they were going to just ghost me afterward?

You can't win with these people.

Someone got offended when I stated on FB that Hilary Clinton should drown in a pool of AIDS. They called my old office to complain. My former supervisor called me laughing to tell me about it. He told the woman, "Do you mean the guy that retired 8 months ago? He's not our problem anymore. Have fun with him."
