Oops. I should explain, I haven't been at the same job, but in the same industry. I've been in my current position for 5 years, last was for 6 years, before that, 5 years. I am taking next week off to network. Up until this change, I've always gotten every job I've interviewed for. That may be why I feel a little discouraged. And I am finding it true what you said about internal hires. The media company I did get an interview at told me stright up that they prefer internal hires.
