WAW - Very confused and devastated - pt 10

[confusedinpa]

Well the call with the recruiter was a real bummer. I appreciated how honest he was, but it was still a bummer.

I had thought a "hurdle" I would have to clear for jobs would be that my background may be more that what they were looking for. I was really caught off guard when he said that a $100 Million Global Operation was too small as the firm he was recruiting for was a $2.5 Billion Operation.

ACK!!!!

I guess I should just take it as a warm up phone screen. The recruiter did give me some feedback to tweak my resume, although he said overall he thought it presented well. He did say that I should be prepared for a 6-9 month search, at least.

So I'm back to - THIS SUCKS!

BTW, I'm still curious to hear from WAWs if there LBS had lost their job, would you have reacted like my wife (calling my friends and relatives)?
