Yep. Out for 14 months, and I didn't get fired. My company got bought out, and the new owner brought in his own management team. openings were skimpy to begin with, when I got laid off in September, 2007, but after the price of gas started to really spike upward, earlier this year, the openings really dried up. And since then, I'm hearing from the few people I have interviewed with, the employers are really getting picky on filling the openings. I've seen the same company run the same job posting in Careerbuilder and Monster three or four times, or more. One company I know ran the same help wanted ad eight times since last September.
Bob Nardelli, who ran Home Depot (almost into the ground), would not have been my choice to run Chrysler, but somehow he recruited Jim Press away from Toyota.
