Im 52 and I have been turned down 21 times for a job. the jobs that are available are horrible and they pay nothing!

certificates are an inexpensive way to go if you don't have a college education. Make sure that the way you word your resume aligns with the job you are applying to. Also, be prepared to interview because you never know when you are going to be speaking to your new manager.

Yes. No one talks about that. It is demeaning and depressing. All you worked for is now worth half.

@mardaya 3 жыл бұрын

@@heidiaguilar1257 That is how coaches make money, talking about the blindspots that people don't realize about. Nobody tells you to customize a resume and cover letter for each job you apply. Schools don't teach that and that information is so valuable that many end up underemployed just because of that. Not fair.

I moved with my husband for HIS job. During that time my 4 boys have grown and moved on. It has been 8 years and I have been turned down over and over again with certifications in EMT, CNA and Phlebotomy from Community College that I went to just prior to moving and after I moved! I am 59 physically fit and of sound mind. I always had at least a 3.6 average in every course that I took. It is due to my age- there is NO doubt.

I can tell you so HOT careers right now!! Truck drivers! Every and i mean EVERY trucking company is hiring. Don't have a CDL? No problem they pay for your training and CDL plus many are giving sign on bonuses. Construction! Every job site I have seen is short handed. Don't know a trade yet? Most have fast track apprenticeship programs. Most trades pay well. Electricians, HVAC Techs, plumbers, masons, concrete finishers, landscapers, cabinets, tile and carpet, sheetrock and painters all are short handed.

But ladies, what if that mom thats 50, is a full on loser, with no personality, no social skills, is leaving a bad marriage, has no resume... I guess that mom can go work in a crappy job. This works for women with "personality." Community college won't help you if your a loser. Education does not get you a job, personality, good makeup, and appearance do.
