I saw that only 56, ingenious inventor and smart businessman, maybe Getzo could do it, but I doubt there's anyone that can fill his shoes. -

My mother was desperate for a job. She went to a state university for courses required to teach art in high school. The department head told her that one of his art professors had dropped dead the day before. She taught art in college for the rest of the school year. -

As mentioned above Networking, Networking, Networking. If you know people in the field your interested in talk to them, ask if they have contacts. If you don't know anyone look for job network meetings and seminars. Basically these are meetings of people looking to make contacts. Hand out resumes, business cards, just make contacts. There are job training centers that will have job lists/meeting seminars etc. -

Getzo, I really can't tell'ya how to actually FIND a job... Lmao...not in this present day & age. But here's some extremely simple advice after you "target" an employer with an available job you're after.
#1-Even before this...Target a job you are almost assuredly able to just get an interview for (i.e. semi-cr#p job you're not trully interested in). You haven't been job-hunting in awhile... And even 1 month off of job-hunting, ANY & EVERY person's interview skills s#ck... You WANT this ice-breaking/practice warm-up interview. You do NOT want the first interview you're getting, in any even small span of time, to be that interview with a job that you know could be a killer job to get...
#2-NO ostentation in your resume. Short is actually MUCH better. My mom is the head manager for 1/2 the Traveler's building in Hartford (idk how THAT works?), And she's interviewed and hired 100's and 100's of employess. ~Says she despises things in a resume that are overly "glowing b-s-, regarding a person's OWN take on their skill-set, that takes the place of actual qualifications of ANY sort). Same thing goes especially, with font stuff used in your resume. Obviously, you NEED just a small bit of change-up in terms of font-type/resume look, and those unmeasurable skill-set statements... BUT just a VERY tiny bit within these factors, goes miles. Err on the side of short & succinct and actually practical & professional.
#3-Ya get an interview, Do NOT call to thank them (act of total desperation). DO show your gratitude in extremely short & certain basic gratuity, by sending them an e-mail OR actual basic letter <Again...Even being totally generic in this letter of appreciation is gonna work in your favor. It's the act & attention to the very detail of being thorough in your endeavors, which trumps the more "personalized" thank you, towards this individual/company figure />
Remember...you're "wooing" them. Very short & distinctly memorable resume listing absolutes and hard qualifiers. Then VERY personable, and easy-going interview (working off the interviewer's personalty)- Jokes are good, easy-going is good. They digress, and USE that to say funny & memorable thing... <clearly, don't be absurdly over the top in terms of being SO lax /> Dress meticulously clean. THEN your very generic "thank you" email/letter. You want them, wanting you. -

Secret service is hiring, no college required. Do you like 75 page long applications? If you have a degree I always thought the ATF and border patrol sounded fun. -
