My husband has been looking for a project management job in the Chicago Metro area and seems to only getting inquiries from headhunters that ask for his resume and then he never hears from them again. If he follows up on the contact they get nasty and say they will contact him if he is qualified. His resume looks great and he is qualified for the positions he applies for.
Does anyone think they have any jobs to offer? Does anyone else blame this on Blago? We do. I am just curious of what other peoples experience with this is.

The biggest reason I had to leave Chicago for the East Coast was because, once I was laid off, it took a job opportunity from out of state to keep me working in my chosen field.
My field is pretty specialized (systems requirements engineering), so very few, if any, employers in the Chicago area were looking for my skills. Project mgmt shouldn't be one of them, but I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a long while to get a bite.
Besides, unless he know someone on the inside of those companies he's applying for, a lot of those postings tend to be EEOC driven, in order to ensure that the jobs are openly posted before it ends up in the hands of an insider.
Blago may at times be a dope, but the employment situation isn't one of them I'd blame it on. I was laid off during George Ryan's time, so this thing has been happening a while.

definite - a lot of human beings in Michigan be afflicted by the comparable situation. for a lot of them the only answer is relocation, in spite of the shown fact that many are understandably proof against that and many times particularly no longer able to attain this. of direction, politicians are loathe to be certain their experienced worker's and experts hit the line, so they say in spite of they might to make issues look extra useful than they are. do no longer provide up; save attempting to develop your odds in spite of the shown fact which you will. circulate to with a profession practitioner at a college or community college who aspects help to with your resume, provide you interview suggestion and supply help to discover activity leads. attempt to take an pastime in new issues and save discovering as much as you could. save your chin up, attempt to no longer enable your frustration bleed by using in activity interviews (it is going to smash you swifter than something) and final yet no longer least, get waiting to circulate once you could no longer take it from now on. Your new skills will placed you in sturdy stead in a extra favorable activity industry.
