Age Discrimination? Or Experience Discrimination? http://bit.ly/aW5mpJ "Don’t let the employer form these kinds of impressions about you"

One of the successful sessions during the Job Search Jam Session in May was a discussion on how to deal with this age issue. We do need to (1) be aware of it and (2) deal with it to emphasize the positive. If we take the high road, we can truly show that our experience and willingness to learn and share will help their company be a better place. That has to help their bottom line!

Successful Career Networking: Being Good With Names http://bit.ly/cHE980 "Cows with names produce 68 more gallons of milk"

A good point brings us back to names and round the circle to knowing. How well do you know someone? If you have just met them once, and then see them again, do you remember their name? This does take some practice and in my networking one area I have really tried to focus on. I really want to be able to see someone the second time and make the connection relevant to our first meeting.

How do you know what you know? What can you share today?
