Welcome to 2025, a bright new year. One full of hope, promise and opportunity or so I am told. However, I suspect it is easier to think of a new year in such terms when you have a little security (i.e. when you have a job).
I had a job but now I don't. My position was made redundant in the face of some tough economic conditions, I don't blame my former employers, in fact I would have done the same (maybe even earlier). The fact that I knew it was on the cards, meant that I've been looking for a new role for a few months. The problem is... my age.
I'm now of the age where I have to delete it from my CV and condense my early experience to avoid revealing the fact I was already working when Margaret Thatcher came to power. So, the chance of landing an age (and salary by experience) appropriate job is going to prove a challenge.
Anyway, I'll keep you posted, in between redrafting my CV, bodging covering letters and contemplating which petty white collar crime will cover my rent on a monthly basis.
