Non Scale Victories This Week

During last night's LIIFT 4 Shoulders workout, I saw an improvement over last weeks shoulder presses.  I was unable to do the 2nd and 3rd sets last week overhead after about 3-4 presses.  My left shoulder would literally fall like I'd lost all muscle control with 10 lb weights.  Yesterday I used the same 10 lbs and it wasn't until the 7th rep on the second set that I started to feel bad fatigue but pushed through.  On the third set my shoulders were shot but I was still able to push overhead even if slower.  I pushed to fatigue but didn't have that dangerous muscle drop I had before. The zinnias I grew from seed are mostly in full bloom and I took some pics before cutting some to put in a little vase.

Hump Day Poll: Asking for A Friend




There is no doubt many have been affected in different ways over the past 10 months.  I had a reader reach out after their spouse needed to start a job hunt asking how the Mr went about getting his new job.  He moved within his company and landed an interview after beating a computer algorithm which doesn't really translate well to job hunting tips.  

It's a whole new ballgame for those in their 40's and 50's knowing how to navigate getting your foot in the door these days.  Unfortunately, I felt I wasn't able to give much help on how to deal with the new landscape of job searching.  

So I turn to you to see if you have any suggestions.  I come from the age of update your resume, fluff up your skills a bit and hope for the best.  Somehow I don't think it has the same effect it did when the Mr had to do it 15 years ago.

Any tips for someone in their 40's and 50's out job hunting for the first time in years?

    Definitely checkout "Ask a Manager" by Alison Green. She offers great tips on resumes, cover letters, and interviews.

    Make sure their LinkedIn profile is up to date and connect with as many headhunters as possible. I just got a cold call off of my profile from a headhunter looking to staff a senior technical role.
