I am a 63-year old white woman, nothing special, with an MA in Liberal Arts and twenty years of progressive experience in business. I was suddenly outsourced from a job I loved and intended to retire from. After nine months of researching companies, training myself in The Four Questions, and working hard to do the job in the interview, I have -- again, at age 63 -- been hired into a Fortune 500 company.

I say I am "nothing special" because your readers should know anyone can do it. Often when I hear some phenomenal success story I look for the silver spoon or the uncle who was in on the ground floor, but I did this myself, with a little encouragement and a lot of help from your advice.

Glad I discovered you. I will continue to read your e-mail newsletter and pass along your tips to my job-searching friends. There are plenty of them out there. Thanks.
