One manager I interviewed with even became offended when I told him the industry I was currently employed in. He stated " your ideologies appear to be FAR from what we generally look for in a candidate". I had no problem with this as its his company but it was a little disheartening.

I'll continue to peruse the job boards and craigslist but I'm not planning on moving anytime soon. Perhaps after I return to school and complete my MBA?
Just an aside, screening for / or judging based on "ideology" is quite illegal. I have had to take all sorts of courses regarding what is and is not legal in interviewing (not to mention, communications at work).

Funny how some of those of a certain bent ("Haliburton is the antichrist!") seem to think they are above the law.
