Bingo! Good for you. Real new jobs in big companies are rare in Akron. Refreshing it can still happen.

You will do better buying a pair of jogging shoes, trim some weight and get some sun before an interview. Skip the Rolex (or any related hint of being wealthy/worldly) if you have one. You may piss people off, especially in a smaller company.

Articulate your portfolio in a down to earth manner. Bag the horse crap "strategic synergies through cross function integration" bull. Bag the "independently saved the enterprise $50 sqillion via unsurpassed forethought".

Just say what you have done and sell yourself on the talents you have.

Right now, A job is more important than a real good job.
