Why this blog? The motivation comes from my personal and professional experiences over the last several years. My goal is to foster interaction, discussion, sharing and mutual support for thousands of Americans who find themselves in positions similar to mine.
The last few years have brought sorrow, soul-searching, guilt and many restless nights…and those are just the emotional elements of the situation.
Then there are the less emotional but difficult issues of managing personal finances, the changing mechanics of
conducting a job search in the 21st century, the recognition of dramatic changes in business etiquette compared to 40 years ago, the dreaded overqualified descriptor, and, perhaps most challenging, the recognition that at my age, what was positively viewed not long ago as ‘experience’ has morphed into ‘obsolescence.’
I will be posting comments relative to the themes identified above and welcome comments, critiques, suggestions and disagreements. Hopefully, we all will benefit.
