- It has never taken me more than 3 months to find a new (and better paying) job.
- This is month 8
- I have had at least 12 interviews
- Half of those ended with said job being "put on hold"
- I have to change my strategy
- Now answering ads is waste of time, no replies the past 3 mos NONE
- Now using contacts, connecting reconnecting taking any and every meeting I can get
- Trying to cultivate an air of not being desperate
- feeling very desperate
- next meeting 2/17 with "X"_TV and "X
"_Music Group - I guess we are finding out why parents/grandparents who lived during depression of 1930's seemed paranoid and ridiculously frugal
- Wishing I had some of that paranoia and frugality when I threw away 100's of thousands on clothes , cars, trips, lipo, and even 10K on a matchmaker who, alas found me no match (but did quickly cash check)
- Considering new career as matchmaker

Interviewing with boneheads
I've been on 6 interviews in NYC with people I outranked in my old career. Generally they are completely ignorant of the business I came from which is by no means small and unimportant.
I find myself frustrated but behaving in a cool calm way. I see them looking at my CV and not understanding how those positions even relate to each other, Such a drag.
I have to keep my head up and continue the search. I really do need a job now.
arrgghh!
