I have the same problem as the original poster but I also have the opposite problem: I have several perpetually unemployed or underemployed friends. They are old. They are opinionated. They should be looking at retirement with pensions by now. They don't fit with any team I have been on. Whenever I post to various forums we all frequent with open positions they send in their resumes. But I can't hire them for the same reason nobody else can hire them. It's awkward when I have to ignore their resume or tell them they just wouldn't be a good fit.
