Changing the “Channel” as you Re-invest in yourself!
Did you hear that? The sound of silence as you’re “rejected” for a role you believe you were perfect for. What’s that you said? “You felt they judged you for your age? Well then, Good Riddance and Get Lost Employer! They don’t deserve the inner wisdom and gift of experience anyways! But wait… do you believe it too? If so… how do you change your inner channel? How do you reinvent yourself, and more importantly think differently about yourself in this Labour Market?
Millions of people wait. They wait for the Career to sunset to REinvent themselves. They wait for divorce, tragedy, or a mid-life crisis. But why? Why is tapping into yourself and digging in your own gold mine been banned as a life skill? Has the media trained us into believing that life ends after 50? Does 50 look like it did 30 years ago? What was your image of a 50-something when you were a kid? Who do you know that is living their Best life after 50, 60 or 70? The way we perceive our world and how the Job search treats us is up to us to explore.
