It was a great company to work for. I work for them almost ten years. I learned a lot from such a small business. I have plenty of warehouse skill and receiving, unloading trucks and pulling orders getting them stage for delivery..

The different tasks I learned to do. It helped me to sharpen my Excel and communication skills.

I had a recruiter call me today about a job I had applied to. She told me if I was interested I would have to 'dumb down' my resume. I had worked for 1 company for 21 years but did such a wide variety of things when she looked at my resume she thought I might get board at the job. My opinion is for an additional $6 an hour above my previous hourly wage, I will be more then willing to do less work. She sent me the job description and I made a second version of my resume. Taking out things that I didn't think would be useful to the position. I had been told by my father in law that at some point I might want to make a second resume that is more directed for certain positions but this was the first time I actually had someone ask for one.

I try to add skills in the skills box because this is important to me to have employers see my skills. Of course I want to add as much as possible. However, every time I click add after typing my skills and save it takes me to a page that tells me "oops. we ran into a problem." I tried just clicking add, add & save and just save after typing skills and same result. I did send a question to Jobcase support and nothing by email or my jobcase account. Has anyone else had this problem or a problem similar? Thanks for your time.

I was disabled temporarily in 08 and i retured from nursing how can i tell employers that my skills from nursing are more advanced than the phlebotomy training i just received and even though its been a few years i still remember everything

How do you reenter the job force after working at the same job for 17 years? I don't seem to be getting anyone who is interested in my set of skills. I have no problem starting at an entry level position but then I'm told I'm over qualified. I really want a job and I pick up on things quickly. What do I do to get noticed? It's so different finding a job now compared to last time I looked 17 years ago. I'm out of my league! Help??!!

If you are an employer tell me as a candidate for your Job Why do you deserve My Skills.. We beg no more for job..we are hard worker

Love it everyday and it made into a very strong man by far...

Back in 2007, I had garnered the contract for the Newport BayClub and they made me Sales Director. They wanted us to compete with my old employers at Wyndham for "Off Property Contacts". If you've been on vacation in a resort town, these are people who promise Disney passes and the like if you'll just go visit the timeshare.

There was only one problem. They wouldn't give me a budget to attract people. One day while jogging, I ran into a woman, almost literally, who was painting. That gave me an idea. Fans of art never get to see art produced. So I developed Arts on the Plaza.

Artists came in and created. People stopped by and watched the artists. While watching, I could talk about the timeshare opportunities. Sometimes the artist even sold something.

Fast forward a decade. Here in Utica, we had the whole Nano project go upside down. City leaders asked if I could develop an attraction for tourists that would not cost the city any money.

Reaching into my memory. I took Arts on the Plaza and now it is Art on Utica. You can watch it develop at ArtonUtica.wordpress.com - if you click the Memories tab, you'll see some old pictures from the Newport, RI experience.

You never know when an old marketing plan will come in handy again.

About a year ago, I walked away from a job due to the work environment. Later I found out that I was creatively fired... The job duties from other employees, who had also left, were tasked to me. The situation built up to the point that I had enough...

I was working 60 to 70 hours a week and the quality of work was starting to diminish. The final straw was when I was asked to take on the duties of a colleague. Sadly, these duties were something I would normally enjoy...

Before I left, I created training videos for my successor in exchange for "leaving on good terms". This did help at least one time... When my final superior would have lambasted me... she remembered and said.."oh, your leaving on good terms...." and let it drop.

After I started to look for a new job, I have had multiple interviews. So far I have been turned away. I feel that it is a combination of my age, 47, the black mark from leaving a job and my "outdated" skill set.

I have heard that it can take a year and a half ( or longer ) for someone like me to find another full time job on par with what I had.

What can I do to mitigate my circumstances? Especially in the light of finding a full time job. Going back to school is not really an option given my current financial state. I already have two part time jobs that barely keep me afloat.

Thank you
