gemMs says: HEY EMPLOYERS - I'M NOT TOO OLD! Is there ANYONE out there willing to hire someone older than the age of reason? We constantly hear enough about job loss due to: downsizing, jobs elimination, bad management, no management, company in bad shape, no shape; fighting off bankruptcy, liening, forfeiting, fiscally under advisement; moving out of town/out of state/offshore, etc. Hey! Maybe I should look for jobs oversees where the U.S. companies have moved their offices. I even listen to the grizzly TV news that states even the young are in trouble - no solace there. Even though I am slightly over 60, I have to work; WANT to work. I left my own company to join the nonprofit world nine years ago. Although currently still employed there, it is only a matter of days or weeks before my current employer finally sinks the company's ship. So, I read AARP magazines, research the web: Linkedin, Plaxo, Facebook(?), Monster and its offspring. I'm told to network - what if your network is retired or retiring (luckily, not dead)? Are there networks for rent? Do I have to lie? Be evasive? Color my hair? (Actually, I already do this!) Consider Botox? Tummy tucks? Buttocks enhancement? I only need to work a few more years so I can pay off my mortgage and pay for my health care (my siblings and I have already considered signing up for our own ice flow in Alaska. With that, and a bottle of our favorite alcohol, we will not need to worry about the new health care plans). I am educated, housebroken, love to dance, can make coffee, operate a computer, deal with troubled employees & customers, and can feed myself (and others, if necessary). I am fun to be around, can take and give directions (even on the road). I love people; working with them and for them. I take good care of myself and was recently told that I look 55 - 45 would have sounded better. . All else failing, I could perhaps start my own business - but, been there; done that. So, come on; take a chance - I will totally overwhelm you with my talents and loyalty. Not all of my best years are behind me. Although I am not cheap or free, and only slightly used, I am very reasonably priced.
