For those who think that there is a skills shortage, let me tell you about my Google job interview

205. Thanks truedelphi,

Let me say that survival is indeed difficult to accomplish, and I have not had as bad as some. But I have had trouble recently. When you do an entrepreneurial gig, and things suddenly turn south, finding another job can be very difficult if not impossible. When you have been working in a technology where demand has gone away, you are going to find it difficult to find a new gig. Finding an employer that is going to let you come up to speed on something new is very unlikely to happen.

My skills are current and have been current throughout my entire career, but I have had patches where there were no jobs, and a severe financial crisis left me in dire straits.

Most of my contemporaries have had to leave the profession, one of which has been a tutor. I was wondering how he could make it financially, but maybe he is doing OK.

I am telling you that this fraud being sold to us by the likes of Google is BULL. Don't believe a word that those self serving bastards are telling you.
