I'm a head hunter

[liberal N proud]

10. I have been out of work for 9 months!

After 33 years in Engineering, the last 17 as a CAD Manager. I have spoken to dozens of headhunters, all of the tell me my resume is great, my experience is outstanding and they all have a position they would like to place me. Then nothing!

I have applied to positions through headhunters only to have them tell me that either the job doesn't pay what I was getting or I am over qualified. I haven't made anything for the last 9 months so wouldn't anything be better than nothing? How do I get past that?

I have a LinkedIn account, it gets some visibility and some contacts, then nothing.

On the up side I have an interview on Thursday for a great company. It is 3-1/2 hours long.

My career was 16 years in engineering in a manufacturing facility before moving to the RD&E facilities to support global engineering for a consumer products company. 33 years and going great until they eliminated the central engineering group.

My wife took a transfer after my position was eliminated, so if you have any leads in Savannah Georgia area, I would greatly appreciate the help.
