[quote=Anonymous]I agree, older workers have it tough. But you say you need to work another 10 years, and I believe you, because you're only 55. So basically, you can't afford to give up. Yet your post makes it sound a little bit like you are giving up. Can you use your temp work to find an open job and ingratiate yourself with the bosses? This could be a really viable way to land a permanent job. Also, don't talk yourself out of sending out resumes to the big corporations. As with everything in life, you won't know until you try. If you need to, invest in a makeover so you look younger and up to date -- yes, you may think this is totally corny, but from everything we hear, it seems necessary. Also, invest in whatever technical/accounting/professional certificates and training might help expand your job options. And stay away from Barbara Ehrenreich's book :([/quote]
