I am currently unhappy with my current job and would like a Mid Life Career Change, where can I get advice?

I am 43, and in Restaurant Management. I have been a server manager for 10 years and have been with same company for 3 years. During the last 12 months I have been passed over for a GM position 3 times (getting ready to be the 4th), having been told that I am not ready. However, my reviews have always been solid and I have worked and gotten better in areas that required work.
The current GM has less knowledge than myself, the staff knows this and has no respect for his incompetence and treats me with the respect and responsibility of a GM.
A little more history, we were recently bought out by a new company with promises of growth in the future. Should I hold on to the hope that we shall grow or is it time to begin anew?

Stay for another year.............

I have no desire to help you. However, I would suggest a career coach - there is out of pocket cost for this. Sometimes it is difficult to find a good one. Check this web page:
http://www.coachfederation.org/ICF/

Or find a local recruiter/head hunter:

The recruiter is really a hit and miss option. At least by contacting ICF you know the coach is certified(schooled). Once again there is a fee associated with this. The recruiter is always free...... Ignore all the rest of the advice you will get and take these.

This is not the time for a change with the economic lows we have now wait Intel a new president is elected & see if it helps to stabilize the market you know the old adage last hired first fired although I understand your problem I have been there myself job security all you have left at this point it鈥檚 a uncertain future

If you find someone to really help you, let me know...
