I was laid off after my employer was bought and broken up.

I was later contacted and asked to apply for my old position at the company who bought those parts.

I was probably one of maybe a hundred people with 10 years experience in X, most already were employed at that company and had referred me.

I didn’t make it through the HR screening because they upped the educational requirement to a masters degree.

I didn’t feel too bad about missing out considering how that played out.
