Congratulations! If you can no longer afford to work on commission or by contract, how are you going to get a job with a corporation or non-profit? Let's assume you are 48 years of age, single, and raising a child completely solo. There is no assistance what so ever. Let's assume your background says: Risk taker (entrepreneur), highly educated, hold multiple professional licenses, make decisions easily, and rarely under scrutiny of a supervisor (entrepreneur responsibilities). This is typically where the resume and skills get #86. Age discrimination for a woman is fact after 38. If a company doesn't respond, then they cannot be sued; if they hire than the corporate insurance costs rise due to age. There are factors in your message that do not apply to the experience and independent professional. These factors can be assumed by Human Resources, and threatening. Additionally, HR knows you know your worth. Thus, let us talk about realistic situations and not quaint maneuvers. Penelope, you are working for yourself. Congratulations!
