For this last episode of the season, I am replaying my appearance on the "Repurpose Your Career" podcast. Here are the questions we're answering:
1. I am a 61-year-old floor installer. I have been doing this since I was a young man. I have worked in other parts of the industry like sales and distribution but I like to work by myself. I no longer install carpeting because of the weight.
I do not know much longer I can continue to do this. I am incredibly good at finding the best methods to install the ever-changing product offerings that the vinyl and wood flooring industry come up with every year.
What can I do? I cannot physically keep this up.
2. After years of corporate training, I took time off to raise my daughter. She is graduating from high school in two weeks and I am ready to get back into training.
A few of my challenges:
I haven't used much of the new technologies since 2008
I haven't spoken in from an audience since 2009
I haven't worked since 2009
Not sure where to begin.
Thanks for your help in advice.
Name redacted.
3. I am 65 years old and I have been an IT consultant/Interim CIO for the last 25 years.
I want to finish my career as a full-time employee as a CIO at a small to medium size business. I am completely unable to convince people that I am worth the risk. I have worked in so many industries that everyone says I do not have the necessary industry experience and I get passed over.
What should I do?
