“I recently decided to re-enter the workforce after a break. I should add that I’m over 60 but highly qualified in my field. I thought it would be a slam-dunk. Just looking for a part time position to put my knowledge and experience to good use. Well, it’s a lot more challenging than I expected. I recently found myself with interviews for a position I really wanted, but was out of practice as to how to approach it all. I did a search in Apple podcasts for “job interview” and came to find “Get Hired.” What a great resource for any job seeker. Not only did I find great insight into acing my job interviews, but every time I had a question or thought about something, I looked through the episodes and there was one about that very topic. I’m sorry to say that after two months, 5 interviews and reference checks, I was one of three, and they went with one of the other candidates who had more direct experience with the kind of work. I’m disappointed for sure, but I see there’s an episode about dealing with grief around work. I’ll listen to that next. I love Andrew’s bouncy, energetic voice who makes me feel like he’s cheering ME on every time I listen to him. Thanks Andrew. Your podcast has been a great help to me and I know I’ll have a better chance landing that job because of you.”
