Preparing for LIfe @ 50+ Convention

 

One week from tomorrow I will be travelling to D.C. to participate in the AARP Convention. I am so excited!  Marci, our AARP liason, has been keeping us abreast on all of the activities we will participate in while there.

Our first get-together as "Dream Job" winners will be a dinner in our honor on Thursday evening. Friday morning we will all present a Life@ 50+ University Session as a panel from 11 a.m. to noon. Friday afternoon, from 2-3 p.m. I will be at the Presentation Stage in the AARP Job fair area, booth 439 where we will be discussing tips for networking.

I really am looking foreward to exploring the Convention Center. There are so many presenters and sessions on such a wide variety of topics...it all sounds terrific! I hope many of you will be able to attend the Convention...I look forward to meeting as many people as possible.

In my last journal, I mentioned I had two interviews. Unfortunately, I was not selected for either position, however, there will be another opening in one of the offices in October and they asked to keep my materials on file. I take that as a good sign that I may have an opportunity with this firm after all. I’ll keep you posted!

In the interim, I am continuing to receive job postings from some of my networking contacts and have submitted a few more resumes. I remain confident that my "dream job" is attainable. I just need to persevere.

Until next time...blessings to you!  stef
