Hi everyone

I was recently laid off from my previous job due to re-structuring. Because I had a long tenure with that company, I was given 7 months of paid leave.

Truth be told, I was already beginning to look for new challenges, since I felt that I had outgrown my position as team leader and was ready to take on more responsibility.

However, now I am on a schedule to find that next position.

The thing is, I am not getting interviews, and I believe it is due to recruiters looking at my past achievements rather than my potential.

I have led, I have coached, I have scaled, I have implemented, I have...

My most recent manager was ready to have me shadow him so that I could get practical experience with the things I am missing (strategy development and formal project management), but I have spent A LOT of time trying to develop a toolbox within these areas and feel pretty confident that I would be able to handle the responsibility if someone would just grant it to me...

But it's the famous paradox - you need to get the job to get the experience, but you need to have the experience to get the job...

What is a good approach to conveying your potential rather than you results?

I'm farming LK for runes and have now already twice mis-clicked NM instead of Hell... Is there a way to NOT have to click on the difficulty selector?

I know that I can press 'H' on the keyboard, but N and H are very close together so it doesn't eliminate the issue fully...
