Do you feel like you’re too old to make new things happen? Here are some tips and resources to make your stability and maturity a plus in your job search.
Hi this is Dan Miller – and yes you’re listening to the 48 Days Radio show – where each week we take 48 minutes to dive into real life questions about finding your passion, deciding what kind of life you want to live – and then finding or creating work that allows you to show up every day, excited to be able to do something that is meaningful, fulfilling – and profitable. This is where normal, indecision and ambiguity come to die. Welcome to the 48 Days Radio Show.
Questions:
1. I am in a job that is being phased out, and I am too old to get a different job. I have a lot of debt with no retirement and my marriage is falling apart.
2. How do I get companies to stop looking at my past work experience?
3. How would you go about approaching an intro/cover letter and pitch to a company in an industry that demands results and in which you have no experience?
4. How can I apply for a job in another city without moving there first?
