I did respond to a contractor job at Caterpillar Proving Grounds for a Digital Media Specialist, the one that somehow uses video as a measurement tool? Sent my resume last week. Called this week. No response.
Again, when they see my main work experience listed as starting in 1986 (even though I started doing video in 1980 at age 20) I suspect they're calculating how old I am, figure I'm close to 65 or close to retiring. Doesn't help if on some applications have to list what year I graduated from ICC. Which was Fall 1980.
As far as the Custodian..yes it's a substitute job, but probably one that requires knowledge of boiler and HVAC systems. Which I don't have.
I recently got a .75/hr raise where I'm at now, plus tips have gotten better, so they must be trying to keep me.
But the search goes on.
