Well I broke down the barriers. I received a nice offer today making more than I make now in salary and benefits!!!! At age 65 I guess it is still possible to do what I thought was hard. Hooray for me.

I just kept applying for all jobs got interviews and got hired. I have never had any issues getting and keeping jobs.

I have to prove everyone wrong. People say now and in the past that I am just one big loser. I prove to them that I am not a failure, loser and a bad person so that is what keeps me going.

You give me hope. Were you unemployed for a long time? It is 11 years unemployed. Work was my life and I would love to have that again. I am 60.

Congratulations. I know you will do great things.

No I had a full time job for 9 years. I have rarely been unemployed in my life. I think it would be extremely hard to get a job after 11 years of unemployment. Good luck in reaching your goals.
