Hi Karen,

Don’t let your age bother you. If you see it as a problem, then your
interviewer will too. I just spoke with a woman last week who was 55
and she asked me if she was too old to look for a job and I told her
that if she were 80 she might want to slow down a bit, but other than
that, press on.

It sounds like you are well polished in every respect. My specialty is
helping job seekers impress their interviewers with skillful interview
answers and using the right interview language to get the job. If you
don’t feel your interviewing skills are up to par, then I would suggest
reading through The Complete Interview Answer Guide from
www.jobinterviewtools.com.

What do you feel is your biggest problem right now, aside for possibly
being laid off?
