Out of the clear blue I got a call from an aerospace company here in Atlanta wondering if I was still looking for a job and that I was referred by someone as being possibly interesting in an opening. I interviewed today and it went well. The issue will be the commute to College Park (35 miles straight through Atlanta and south of the airport a bit. A brutal commute. If they offer me enough money to come out of my "semi retirement" the commute will be the sticking point as I am not sure that losing, at minimum, two hours of my day sitting in Atlanta traffic is even something I want to consider.
We'll see. It turns out it was the EVP of Operations at my old company that gave them my name and I have already sent him a thank you. 100's of resumes sent, every job site in the world and I finally get an interview because of a referral. Networks are very good things.
