Did anybody else nominate someone, or nominate themselves, for CampaignUS’s 40over40 list? I get an email just about every day from them to do so, of course it costs $199. Personally I think it’s just a way for them to collect entry fees, but just curious.

And as a freelancer, I might as well douse $199 in kerosene and light it.

Would you feel lame nominating yourself?

So I can pay $199 to change the headline on my LinkedIn to include an accolade that truly no one cares about? TAKE MY MONEY!!!

These lists prey on ego and insecurity. They also focus on making money for the trade rags. Applier beware.

You have to pay to be on these lists. It’s normal. I think Adage is like $400. I get it - they’re trying to find ways of making revenue and having their business survive.

I’m 51 years old. For many reasons that would make this post too long, I’ve had a very slow profesional growth. I am finding myself more and more isolated as I see that most of my coworkers are much younger than me. I’d like to find a job environment where I could relate more to my peers. How do I look for job opportunities where I can find more people of my same age group? I don’t want to be the only old person in my creative group. Should I be looking in-house? Pharma? Any ideas are welcome.
