"but I'd say over half of those leads end up cutting me at an HR filter before I can even get an interview!

"From what I understand it's due to two things-- at 34, I'm older than others going for junior positions."

I hope any HR people who have had your resume cross their desk are sweating at the thought of age discrimination scrutiny.

It may be there's a shortage of HR talent, not tech talent.

Did Glinda flit in from Oz and wave her magic wand, correcting the past two generations' worth of age discrimination problems in the Valley? Did the EEOC's jack-booted thugs suddenly start raiding offices last week and I didn't read about it in the Murky News?

But they not only have certificates, they have college degrees in HR now! A shortage? That's unpossible.
