"They never came up with any prospects and two months later, they contacted me to see if I found a job yet. I told them that I thought that was supposed to be their job."
Not taking ownership of your own job search is a red flag.
Author also failed to act on early warning signs and thought that he could make himself too valuable to be let go.
So it seems that it's less about age and more about mindset.
- kleiba 5y agoNot taking ownership of your own job search is a red flag. Yes, but the author clearly has taken active steps to find a new job himself. I mean, the fact that he got in touch with a company to help him search is already evidence of that, but as he later writes, he did find some part-time jobs at least by his own doing. I can sympathize with his reaction: what's the point of hiring a company to help you find a job when all they do is call you two months later to ask whether they're still needed? Of course, we only know his side of the story...
