Personally, my preference was to accept a job that was 2 levels down from my last job after 6 months of unemployment. I did take a significant pay cut, but there is a lot of opportunity for mobility, even more opportunity than in my last job. I’m still a manager, but I am a bit bored. When this happens, I remind myself that I could be without a job. Gonna do my best job for the next year and then start looking for upward mobility. Market in educational administration is pretty hard in California and super competitive. It doesn’t help that I live in a mid-size town with a community college and a university. I didn’t want to move. Going to lay low for a year and then see what next.

I was called to come to a interview, wow I am a respondent not a
despondent – to be polite I am to sit there and say nothing until spoken
to. If I should say some thing, or to better my situation, I should.

If
I asked what the job was they often do not tell. I am not there to
presume and pretend that I can read their mind, to influence their
option of me – I just applied to some companies that had no listing for a
job, that called just to see me.

Why would a person call me up,
then I show up for the interview – they had a reason for calling me,
just to stare at the paper for several minutes, before leaving,
everything was there in print before they called me – yet if we
discussed something, it was not to tell me what the job was, regardless
of how polite I was, to find what I needed to know – did they just
want to prove I did or did not exist. That was the surprise I wondered about for a moment.

After
that, they called to tell me: “I never told you your getting the job” –
I never said I did, yet the next day they told were to report for work.
