I am changing careers mid life (I'm 48). I finished a dual degree in my new field and now would like to be employed, in the field. However, I seem to be running into the you don't have enough experience wall. But, I can't get experience if no one hires me. I was not able to work while getting my degree as I unexpectedly ended up caring for my Active Duty Army son's preemie daughter. He was deployed and the mother abandoned her in the NICU. Now he has returned and I can go to work. Student loans are coming due and I'm about to panic!!! Any ideas?

reading these posts... has helped me to know that im not alone.. i had responded to Rob and he had responded back. if he sees this.. i wanted to let him know that i wanted to respond back but it wouldn't let me.. anyways... i've been calling places i have applied for.. giving them another number which i think will help.. Restaurants especially. i'm 45 years old and trying to get a job to take care of my 10 year old daughter.. my sister has been helping alot which im really grateful for.. but i miss working.. my last job i had was a hotel and that didnt work to well.. i couldn't get the beds made right... and that just has had me in a slump, to where i feel like i'm good enough... anyways, i'm trying to keep my head up above water

Just curious... You have 2 candidates for job(s) in Sales...A: College graduate 20-35 yrs. old minimal experience and has a Felony conviction. B: NON- Graduate,( but did attend college). No Felony conviction over 40yrs. old and VERY experienced. Who do you hire and why??

What is the best way to apply for a job, when it asks you for drivers license, but you have never had one? ( I am over 40 years old)
