The world has changed dramatically since most of joined the workforce. A lot depends on were you live related to job growth and opportunity. Some have landed on their feet through relationships outside the industry, but its a tough road. Good luck, it's not a pretty picture.
One soon learns that coming in second place in the interview process does not put food on the table or pay the mortgage. When you are unemployed, the feel good phone call from the hiring manager does not ease the pain. It makes it worse. If you have experience and want to stay in the industry, it can work against a candidate is some situations. One example, I know 3 candidates with solid backgrounds were passed over for the 24 year old recent grad that was a rack jobber for Frito-Lay. Young, eager and cheap. It's the new trend. DMs want to feel important and powerful. How important does the DM feel riding around with personnel that knows more than they do?
