  10. I too had to learn to be my own advocate. After so long in the same company many of my skills were unrecognized, I was just doing my job like always. My resume consultant was amazing and really helped me to see just how broad and valuable a skill set I possess. Working with her gave me the first key to unlocking my inner job hunter.
  11. A well constructed resume is still a major factor in the job hunt. Also, work on a few cover letters. Make sure your resume consultant is up to date on which key words and attributes are being searched. Many large organizations scan resumes for key words before any human ever looks at it. Also, discuss the best strategy for listing your experience without fully indicating your age.
  12. 20 years into my career the company I worked for went under. I was a wreck. The labor market in my area was tight and suddenly flooded with over 1000 newly unemployed individuals. My house was deeply under water so relocating was not an option. I did some consulting and volunteer work for a while as I assessed my situation. One of my greatest fears was that my skill set was limited to the very specialized area of my last position. I decided to take a 90 degree turn and do something completely different. I took classes to develop the skills I needed as well as prove to myself that I had the ability to learn new skills. I've worked in that industry for the past 14 years but seeing the writing on the wall (online businesses changing that industry) started looking for a new job. It took 4 years and 100s of applications but am now 3 weeks into my 3rd major career. The things that tipped the scales in my favor: Work ethic Community engagement Strong references Well built resume I strongly urge you to speak with a job transition professional be it a resume consultant or head hunter. They often see the marketable skills the don't occur to you because it was 2nd nature to you. "Just part of the job." Abilities like prioritization, multitasking, logistics, attention to detail, etc are so often automatic as to be overlooked and unrecognized by experienced workers. And, finally, approach your job search as a job. Apply the skills you've developed and your work ethic to it as you did your recent career. It's not easy, believe me I've been there. You'll send out dozens of applications/resumes with little response. It's the nature of the beast. Don't let it get to you too much. Your value will ultimately be recognized.
  13. Ok, I admit it. I'm a junkie for trashy, hallmark, lifetime holiday movies. From the ages child stars to the random Canadian accents, I'm hooked. Anyone else?
  14. When my parents found out they decided to have me "fixed". With the help of friends I packed my things and moved several states away. I had no direct contact with them for the next 2 years. In the decade that followed I visited once a year. Then, a family crisis required me to spend an extended period of time with them. This necessitated a truce of sorts. We now live in a state of detente.
  15. Apple pie (made with reduced cider as the sweetener) or sweet potato/pineapple pie.

  18. My father and his siblings all went by nicknames: Sis, DeeDee, Mick, Rolly, JJ, Tuck, Lolly. None of their nicknames were related to their given names. Go figure.
  19. He could be from the west side of Michigan or even up north. I don't check those areas.
  20. As far as I know he never advertised in the Detroit market.
