Thank you! Totally worth the effort. I feel younger now than I did 15 years ago in most ways.

Lol it does! Though I picked the name many moons ago when I couldn't find a unique user name for the Xbox. And at the time I was very fat. Now in just a bit overweight but I keep the name.

Completely agreed!

It's also one of the few cases where the film improves the book. The book ends on the bus ride, we never know if they find each other. Normally I like that but after a story this hard I want that. Also in the book Red is a red headed Irish man. Morgan Freeman improved that role far more in many ways that I don't think any other actor could do.

Loved that show, my wife rewatches it every few years. His character was so well acted.

Congratulations! These days that's the equivalent of getting a new job tomorrow.

One friend has been searching for 10 months and he's brilliant. Another had his pay cut in half 10 months ago and has been looking since and just had his first set of promising interviews in that time.

It's brutal out there!

For those searching and looking for good resources first I'd consider joining a job search council: https://www.neversearchalone.org/join-jsc

I know several recruiters and none of them are offering interviews to anyone who wasn't a reference because they find plenty qualified candidates before they get to non-referrals.

This means networking is critical. For that consider reading Taking the Work Out of Networking by Karen Wickre. Though the JSC above also talks a good bit about networking and has networking built in.

Applying cold is still useful but a resume and cover letter needs to be properly ATS optimized, and many (not all) companies filter out resumes if they detect AI usage. So consider hiring quality a resume writer.

And good luck, seriously!

Request of information in healthcare.

For those that don't know, it's part patients needing medical records, requests between hospitals, doctors, attorney requests, and medical research requests.

The amount of security here is simply amazing. I've worked in a lot of industries including other areas of the medical field and I've never seen anything like it.

Congratulations! How's the change going?

And we're doing pizza night with friends where I'll share the news with them! 🍕🎉
