Do you ever feel stuck? Lately I've felt very stuck, mostly concerning my job.

I telework from a location in a different state as my employer. I've been with the same company for almost 10 years now (in two different positions). My current position has been going on now for 6 years. The management has significantly changed both in my department and the organization as a whole over the past year, and with that change has brought much more stress. I work in our business office, and management made the decision to switch out our Accounts Payable/Finance system for a new system called Workday. It has been a huge mess since they began implementing it - the management wants it to do many, many more things than it is actually capable of and really it has just been a disaster. In addition to that, my position is greatly affected by this change, to the point where I worry that ultimately this will lead to a lay-off.

I have been applying for jobs for the past two years. Two years, and I've applied to over 100 jobs. I have received interviews on three of them. Two never called back, the third I got to the 2nd interview before the company was acquired and all hiring was cancelled. I have vastly altered my cover letters, resume, etc. in hopes of getting more "bites." But nothing. A good friend who has lots of pull at huge firm even passed my resume along. I received an informational call from their HR department, but was told they don't have anything meeting my skills. I am getting exceedingly frustrated, and at this point would almost consider a much lower level job just to get out of my current situation... though I would most likely not be hired, as due to my education I'd be considered over qualified. So, in essence I'm ready to get out of this position, but am having no luck at all.

So I'm stuck in the respect that I'm having lo luck finding local jobs. The other issue where I'm stuck is looking for jobs outside of our metro area. In my field there are some great positions available in some cities like DC, Chicago, Denver, Detroit. I'd love to move, I do not like where we live. DW is on board with a move, but the sticking point is of course SD7. Since she shares joint custody with BioDad (even though she is primary), could we really move? Their CSA states that they must live within 50 miles of each other... so she'd probably have to go back to court. So I'd basically have to find an awesome job and move while DW dealt with the issue in court, and of course there is no guarantee that a judge would let SD go with us, and if she wasn't allowed to, DW would not move. So there's that, and I'd be lying if I said that didn't make me a little bit resentful - not of SD, but of BioDad.

In any case, I will keep plugging along, hopefully something will come up soon. I'd really like to get unstuck.
