After nearly a year of unemployment, I got a job. As someone who just turned 64 and doesn't plan to retire anytime soon, I am very pleased. I won over 2 men who are likely at least 20 years younger than me.

Your initial tools to do an analysis of personality to lead with and the suggested answers to common questions were indispensable.

Suggestions on how to handle the obvious fact that I am over 40 were very useful. I start very soon. What's the best is that after years of driving into Des Moines, IA, is that the job is right in town less than 2 miles from where I live.

Another hurdle that I had to get over was the job description required you to be able to lift 25-50 pounds. I'm a petite female who can easily lift 30 pounds. However, I applied anyway and when the screener asked if I could do 50 pounds, I was honest and told her what I could lift. So, I guess that proves that if you don't fit every qualification, you should apply anyway.
