Thanks for the advice Brian. It's so easy to forget about passion when you're thinking about paying the bills. Great reminder!

Ben, I know it's been years since we worked together, but you were always dedicated, knowledgeable, and a great person to work with. I wonder if you're going through a similar questioning of ability and experience like I am. If you need any help with your hunt or resume, let me know. I've seen you tackle bigger challenges than this in the past--stay positive!

Kevington, I am in precisely the same boat, except my employer decided to let me go instead of me doing it. But I am also trying to find where I want to go next, having moved into management in 2000 as well, but finding I liked being the guy making shit go in the back room more, which is where I ended up 2002 till now. Now instead of being on the bleeding edge, I find I want to be somewhere in between, perhaps just sweating in the back room. :-)
I am trying not to make this out to be too much. Years ago I decided work was just work, my career was not the center of my life. I plan to keep it that way.
I just downloaded my former HRs resume guide, and found it really bugged me. I am nowhere near an opinion on resumes yet, so I watch your example with hopeful eyes.
Good weekend to you my old friend!

Sounds like a personal Renaissance in the making. I've had quite a few of those since college. Good for you. Taking time to asses yourself and remember what it is about life that sparks your passion is the best time spent.

Good luck, and I will keep my eyes peeled to see what you're up to.
