Once more, With Feeling!
Back by popular demand! Now being unemployed, I have no excuse not to blog (and I've been commanded to do so by my devoted fan base (my fan base being Ruth...hi Ruth!). So here I am, over 50 and back in the career dating pool. It's different now than it was 20 years ago. Used to be you scanned the Help Wanted adverts, sent your resume to anyone and everyone, and crossed your fingers. Now it's all social media and personal "branding". LinkedIn is the Tinder of job hunting. And should I start dyeing my hair again to compete with all these 12-year-olds, clutching their freshly-minted degrees? I guess I need to start by getting an interview "outfit" -- even in the PNW, one must show up in something snazzier than jeans and sneaks (these days I'm dressed for comfort, not for looks!)

Have confidence in yourself, that's the #1 thing you have to have :) Anyone would be lucky to have you on their team and this team just lost a great team member :(
