In this episode, Gail, Catherine, and Judith (age 75) discuss:
The myth of being too old to contribute in the workplace
Why career coaching during transitions is essential
The value added from formal education and pursuing it for the right reasons; and the joys of lifelong learning
Key Takeaways:
Approach interviews by telling your success stories. Share who you are, what it is about you that stands out, what you do well, and what you want to do; how you can contribute.
Be open to roles in different industries as most people end up in a business or industry by circumstance and opportunity.
Many companies are willing to pay for the wisdom and value brought by experienced individuals.
"There’s a lot more joy in late life careers. You find that you can do things you didn’t do before, you don’t have the same anxieties, and you can take risks you were unable to early in your career." - Judith DeVries
