Getting Hired.... Is Technology Working...?

As I said I go into the field and apply for jobs, I do need to work, and I have a need to give back to an Industry that I learned so much from, and have love for. I applied online to a large hotel company as they tell you to through their website. If you know me, I have a rather distinguished career in the Hotel field. I am trying to stay local, and Consult at the same time. I applied to this company, did all the steps, and attached appropriate documents as requested and go though the steps when it sends me an email that I matched a position which is available. It sent me a lead on a Director of Outlets position at their premier resort here in the SW. I applied, being a former Food & Beverage Director, I was sent an email that stated I didn't meet their qualifications and they were pursuing a candidate that closer met their needs. Then I got an email that they were looking for an Assistant Outlet Manager...So I re-applied for that position as well...I got called in for an interview, and put on the suit and went up to the resort, and met with the Food & Beverage Director, a nice woman, I have monitored her moves, and I was the F & B next door, for Hilton a year ago, and was laid off, thus my return to Consulting, She Proceeded to ask Why I didn't apply for the Director of Outlets, I told the story, and so here we are, I am waiting to see how this will play out....But this goes to show that without a human eye looking at you and talking with you, you seem to fall through the cracks...I wonder how many times this has not only happened to me but others that seem to be "overqualified" for a position where they undoubtly have a passion for and unswerving ability to give back , and impart what they have learned to the "Next Generation" of hoteliers...who need to be shown the ropes...
