I am not getting many interviews and yielding very little from the passive market. My network connections are a little weak because it consists primarily of consultants, not very many senior govt sorts. Any general recommendation or strategies I may pursue to obtain more interviews?

Several years in the past, I took refuge in one other part of my establishment after having had a adverse expertise with an interim supervisor who was the protegee of the Executive Director. He (the ED) never forgave (or forgot) that I had not labored well together with his protegee. Two years into the new (wonderful) state of affairs, my new boss â€" who was aware of my past expertise with the Exec Dir and very supportive of me â€" was promoted to a different a part of the corporate.

He called an audit on my department, insisted I actually have dual reporting (somewhat than one manager with a dotted line to a different manager); and ready the incoming director to restructure my division.
