Don't fall in the trap and feel like Job. Why are good deconners not offered jobs, and feel it must be you as some suggest. That what Job "friends" tried to tell him it was something he did or he would not be cursed. If you were a good deonner it is no guarantee of future jobs. You may be a victim of good old boy" network where preferred people are given the jobs even if they are inferior, but know the right people. I've seen it many times. Take the Spring outage. For some reason Millstone is not taking juniors we are told. So even if, like my daughters who have been there many times and got good evaluations, are not even offered a position. What do you do? First, realized you have no real friends in the business, no recruiter who will always come through, and you have to just keep getting as many contacts as possible and take a job whoever offers first, and if you regular recruiter calls you at the last minute after you have taken something else, that is the way it goes. I applied for Hanford prior to the job I am at now. My job called first, I took it and am still there, and the recruiter seemed miffed at me for not dropping the first job when an offer from Hanford finally came. Don't expect too much from people and you will never be disappointed, and you'll keep working.
