Downsized

I look young, think young, act young and believe in the power of the mind.

I am looking to take my skills and talents into either, speaking, training, or some type empowerment type of work.

I have a lot to offer and the next generation really needs help, they have not been trained on numerous people skills and etiquette.

I was also downsized at one of my other jobs, it's a terrible feeling losing a job, and being older, companies can tell when we interview and don't want to hire us. I hope you find something soon. I had an interview yesterday so I am hopeful. These days we can't be as picky as in the past, there are fewer jobs, companies are cutting back on hiring to cut costs, it's really tough out there.
