For the past three years, I have worked contract jobs in my field.
But it has been increasingly hard to find a job in my field using the skills I have as the jobs have either moved out of state or overseas.
I am resigned to the fact that I am forced into early retirement.
I *think* I have the financial resources to retire now, but I would prefer to work for a few more years at any job except Walmart or fast food.
Anyway, I have been applying to "office" jobs, but when I get an in-person interview, I get the -- why are you here question.
How do I respond?
I have a resume that is one page and highlight my Microsoft Office skills including Excel.
Frustated.
