Someone close to me worked over 25 years at one company before being laid off due to a merger. They asked him to stay on until the very end, as he was needed for the transition. He had worked his way up from technician to mid/upper level management over 7 engineers; he designed, implemented, and troubleshot telephony networks. Now he's looking for a job, but it's been so long, where to start?
I'm in a completely different field, so I just don't know how to help him. He is telephony/communication/networks. He has an updated resume and LinkedIn.
Technology changed, and he kept up as the company changed, but he started out with little formal education. Now, these jobs require degrees. Will his experience make up for that? It doesn't make a ton of sense for him to spend 2 years taking classes on things he learned in the field. When looking at job postings, he has experience in all the programs they list...
Are there specific recruiters you recommend for this field? Or specific job boards (not just Monster or Indeed) for the industry?
