Hello everyone!

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to avoid entering your work history dates beyond 15 years on those online applications that will not submit unless you enter dates! I was advised by job experts not to include any jobs over 15 years, but that will limit me to two jobs which do not reflect my scope of experiences. I had no idea it would be this difficult returning to work after retirement. Thank you in advance for any help in this area.

I don't know the answer, but I'm interested in hearing what others say. I returned to work after a 12-year "mommy break" and had a similar problem. I ended up having to back up a bit and take a job for which I was overqualified, then build back up to where I am now eight years later.

I’m also looking for an answer to this. I have been Self-Employed for 17 years prior to the pandemic. I have the experience to do acs payable, receivable, call center, administrative assistant, and so much more but my resume looks horrible with the most recent 10 years being my small business.

Would it be difficult to get a job in IA if most of my experience has been auditing private non-404 asset mgmt funds? I really enjoy process walkthroughs when I have them though. Also, does title matter that much in IA?

Can title be negotiated?

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
