jimmuller, I owe you a steak dinner. What you said about older employees had me change the entire presentation to focus on my experience and the outline of hitting the ground running.
Got the position and they want me to start this very day. As expected, the company I am contracted with said to pack my bag immediately. Being in IT and working with valuable and personal info I knew the protocol would be just that.
Now I just need to make it to 70, then I will retire, promise. Well, maybe...
