I have over 15 years of experience with a large corporation. I was laid off in the midst of Covid and it was a complete surprise. While I always told my team to keep their resume updated of course I didn’t heed my own advice. I have had 2 companies redo my resume. 18 months in and no real bites. I do the online courses for writing cover letters, interviews, resume writing and even adding project management certifications. I can’t find anyone who wants me? I have customer service, sales, project management and can jump into any role and I will do a great job. I don’t know where else to go- I’ve been in animal health and have loved it. Sadly I think I’ll have to go outside of that to try to get someone to accept me. Who’s got a good headhunter they are willing to share?

As a general rule, recruiters don't find jobs for people - we find people for jobs.

This is so frustrating and can really take a toll on your self worth.
Have you been networking? 70% of jobs aren't even ever posted on job boards when they are often times they are just a couple of days from being 'closed'. The most effective way to get a job is to talk to as many people as possible and tell them exactly what you are looking to do next, While it's obvious you have vast experience, be specific, I'm looking for a job in customer service or in sales. Don't be ambiguous.
