50/25
I Am Terrible at Job Interviews. But I Am Getting Better.
I am very good at marketing. I am not naturally good at interviewing for marketing jobs. Here is how I am getting better.
A recurring feature
50/25 — marketing career longevity, reinvention, and staying current
Over 50. Twenty-five plus years of experience. And still going strong.
What this section is about
This section is about what happens to a career once you're seasoned. Reinvention, job searching with a long resume, ageism, learning new technologies properly rather than muddling along, and deciding what you want to invent and create and how to live your best life.
This is my version of Oprah's "What I know for sure". It's not an argument that things were better before. They were not. Colleagues and friends from all walks of life have taught me a great deal, and I never want that to stop. The point is this. Experience has value. Reinvention is possible. Your career does not expire at any age if you are motivated and excited to keep doing good work.
Topics I keep coming back to
- Career longevity
- Reinvention
- Job searching later
- Ageism
- Technology and AI
- Confidence
- Staying relevant
- Mentoring

Experience Is Valuable. It Is Not a Permission to Stop Learning.
Experience gives us context and pattern recognition, but it does not exempt us from learning. On curiosity, reinvention, and why seasoned careers still require new skills.
