One of my problems was that my resume was a bit too unbelievable--but true.
I ended up really dumbing the thing down to IQ-75 to get people to take me
seriously. Please don't get me started on Human Resource departments. But
I will pass this one along--I got buried by the HR department while
department heads were screaming for people with my qualifications. I
talked with one department head two days ago that stated that she was
pretty much denied access to me because I was "overqualified" for the
department and that they had earmarked me for another department which
ended up not hiring me. Meanwhile the lenders were calling...
Now my boss and I are trying to get HR to get my title straight. They put
me down as a design specialist instead of a data network
engineer/frame-relay manager. At least they got the pay right. :) They
even issued new company-wide org-charts that had me down in the mushroom
zone. But strangey enough, they promoted one of the design specialists to
data network engineer/frame-relay manager. :/
