Long Ago in a Far Away Place by Debra Wheatman - Jul, 2012 Many stories begin with the trope, “long ago in a far away land.” We expect to be transported to an unfamiliar place and time. Unfortunately, some careerists use this technique when writing a résumé. We feel as though we are climbing on grandfather’s knee to hear the tale of a time when 3.5 inch floppy disk was king and everyone was blown away by DOS. We see skills such as Fortran and dBase. On the contact line, we see a f... |

Is it Ageism or Your Attitude? by Sherri Edwards - Jun, 2011 Is it Ageism or Your Attitude? There is an ongoing debate about age discrimination in the work place that has been around for a very long time. Since we will continue to have younger workers enter the workplace, it is likely a case will continue to be made either way. My position is it doesn’t do anyone much good to simply buy into it and give up on their pursuits without, examining the situation more carefully. It is he... |

An executive in his late 50¡äs, he took early retirement from his company and was looking for his *next* thing to do.
