O.K. What is the deal with a potential employer ask you: Are you close to retirement? Really.
When applying for a job it should be based on skills, qualities and yes of course experience. But just because you have EXTENSIVE experience (over 25 years) does not qualify you as being "close to retitement" really!

What does one have to do when one is yes 50 and well starting over. Laid off, no choice and went back to school...now really full time university intensive program, graduated at the top of her class!! and still no job!

I have transferable skills, I can pretty much walk into to any environment, have introductions and start working! WHY? is this so difficult.

I have plenty of years to devote to a company. I have experience, I have expertise, I have work knowledge, computer savvy, .... I can go on!

So, question is: even though I have sent out alot of résumés and I have registered with Temp agencies and all the other online help and career builders.... WHY? What is going on out there?

Anyone else going thru a career change and finding it difficult? Any advice...something I am missing!

If you are a potential employer, please consider that experience in the work force at any level gives a person great knowledge and work ethics to be a great candidate for your needs.

o.k. I leave with this: Even though 50 is considered old to some people... you have not met me .. and well you would be surprise!!! I bet there are alot of women out there who are magnificant and you would not know they are 50!
