Congrats to your successful exists.
Your story sounds rough though - applying to 500 positions and only getting 5 responses - sorry to hear. With your track record you should have gotten more responses. Maybe it's worth getting your resume reviewed or google yourself and see what comes up and 'clean up' if anything comes up that you think is not a true representation of yourself.
And you're only 40 - that's not old!
EDIT: removed suggestion to talk to physician about certain medication for improving focus and concentration...
- jacquesm 8y agoYour disclaimer notwithstanding you are giving medical advice to someone you have not even seen IRL.
- uxcolumbo 8y agoIt's not meant as medical advice - as I'm not a doctor. Just a suggestion to take to his doctor and see what s/he says? How could I have phrased it differently, so it's not seen as medical advice?
- ryandrake 8y agoA 1:100 response rate sounds normal for the tech industry. I’m in my 40s and have a pretty decent education and work history, and that’s about how my last tech job search went. Employers are picky and in the catbird seat. Turning away 99/100 is working for them so why stop?
