[QUOTE="Star*, post: 157858, member: 4964"] Jo, I have no other advice for your daughter, but just wanted to let you know I wish her the best of luck. I know at 43, trying to compete with younger kids who will actually work 40 hours a week for minimum wage - even for PT jobs to make ends meet? The competition is stiff everywhere. As an office manager I see what the owner is hiring, young under 25, looking for a 'future' with a company and only leaving other jobs because they are moving "UP" or better job. At 24 one kids leaving his job to come work for us as a sales consultant and he's LEAVING a 43k a year job. I have my doubts that the figures are "accurate" but it makes you think you as a woman with as much experience in years as that kids been alive -gets less pay. Tell her to keep her chin up. I'm proud of her and rooting for her!! ALSO - FYI - her resume will STAND OUT if......she uses a heavier bond of paper - over 24# AND picks something light an ivory or light light blue - the feel of the heavier paper a lot of times causes employers to keep it in their hands longer. NO PINK - ivory, gray or white even light blue but no other color. [/QUOTE]
