He’s applied for 52 jobs and had no second interviews, so Aaron Hochheiser is delivering for UPS in the family minivan after Hartford Stage closed - MSN
When Aaron Hochheiser was laid off from the Hartford Stage Co. in August after a four-month furlough, he hit the streets with his resume applying for manager jobs.
But no matter how he reworked his resume as project manager of the theater’s lighting department, he couldn’t compete with those with experience in insurance and financial services.
To date, Hochheiser has applied for 52 jobs, some of them entry-level managers, including a management trainee at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, all tracked on a computer spreadsheet. He’s gotten six first interviews and no second interviews.
“I’ve never claimed unemployment in my life so that was new, and it was sort of a devastating reality of how bad things really were,” Hochheiser said.
