Your observations are on point about the interesting things you see and hear while job hunting. I did the Monster thing and a lot of on-line job applications. Happy to note I've been employeed for a little over 3 years with the a good company.<br /><br />When things get tough, place them in God's hands! Everything will happen the way it is supposed to.<br /><br />Best wishes to you Linda.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18252723884513567161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198935969614866862.post-67776311730041359702009-08-13T14:42:31.869-07:002009-08-13T14:42:31.869-07:00Oh Linda congratulations on the job.

As another woman of a ...Yes, Congratulations Linda!<br />As another woman of a certain age I, too found it difficult to find a job after 29 years at one place. But I found something part-time, which is more than many people are these days.<br />So, enjoy the fact you have somewhere to go, are earning a bit of money and expanding your experience. <br />And as for what shows up at an interview- I KNOW- I saw it all, from underwear, to piercings in places that shouldn't be pierced, to smells (both cologne and natural body odors).<br />Thanks for reminding the world we have something to contribute.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772480228696010419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198935969614866862.post-58216491573021849792009-08-11T14:00:10.833-07:002009-08-11T14:00:10.833-07:00Yeah Linda!!!

I've always admired that she wanted to work in a store filled with college students. I'm sure on some level its refreshing to be around young people all day. Way to go! I'm sure it was refreshing to those managers to see a professional woman take a job interview seriously. I have a feeling you're going to love it!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310699556744510167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198935969614866862.post-67154905954238688122009-08-11T11:43:04.857-07:002009-08-11T11:43:04.857-07:00Yay!!!!

I was a dental assistant all my life and when I no longer had that job I literally felt like a fish out of water flopping around. At 56 it was not easy competing with the 20 year olds. Getting back into the workforce outside of my comfort level (retail) was a boost when I saw just how much fun I am having. I am the old biddy amongst all the cutie patooties but they still laugh at my silly one liners! I hope you will find your new job to be just as new and fun for you too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
