Hello I am looked to work and I am in the Central Florida/ Orlando area. I retired from Verizon last December after 20 yrs and now I want to return to work. I am 50 yrs old and I just feel like my talents is being wasted. Are there strong job leads or hiring company with good salaries out here.

Does anyone know what salary I am worth for positions I qualify for with a BBA degree & BS degree in Business Management? I have about a year of experience in admin and 8 years of experience in customer service.

I also wanted to ask what positions pay well for people with degree besides business admin?

I can't see salaries

Last week I had the best interview of my life. After the interview was over they brought me in to HR for an orientation packet, they photo copied my id and I was asked where I was salary wise. Before I finished the packet, the HR person had to go and said to bring it home with me. The person I interviewed with, said everything would be alright and to give her a call on Wednesday. Again, the HR person said don't worry nothing is wrong, I am just pressed for time. At that time I asked the HR person, should I be worried I did not get the position and she said no, there is nothing to worry about, it is the end of the day and people were waiting to come into her office. As instructed on Wednesday I called and I was asked to call back tomorrow. I called back today and guess what, I was told I did not get the job. I was a bit taken back and asked, is it something I said or did. She replied no, we are interested in someone else. What does that mean? I am perplexed, how do you go from getting the job to no we want someone else?

I’m a 57 year old man with 33 years of supervisory and managerial skills. I’ve ran companies alone, and owned and operated two businesses. My deal was that I liked working with people, and have applied to many companies. Only to be told that they have decided to proceed with other candidates, only to find out that they were much younger than I. I wasn’t asking for 70-100k a year as they were probably were thinking, just a job so that I could get back into the swing of things, and help a company be successful. I also inclusively have 25 years of safety helping companies reduce the amount of work related injuries. It’s frustrating knowing that we seniors can do just as good of a job if not better than the younger generation because of our comparison in skills. Our government needs to enforce companies to employ a 50 50 split of young and older people, so we don’t have another recession of people losing homes, and banks going out of business because of seniors not being able to pay for their homes because of not being able to work. We count on income just as the younger generations do. I hope we get heard and something happens.

I had two great interviews. Invited back to meet the team and informed I would be offered a position. Recruiter contacted me and we appeared to come to an agreement as to compensation. Two days later, I'm told they want to look at other candidates. Some say, they likely couldn't afford your salary but I would expect a counter offer if that was the case. Thoughts?

Looking for a full time job with benefits ,open to discuss salary. Very easy going person with great attitude and willing to explore new experecies.

It's sad when a degree keeps you from getting jobs. People think you can find something better than what they are offering in your field. Right now it's not as much about the pay as it is an income.

Anyone here ever applied for or worked a federal job? I just received a tentative job offer for a position which I’m excited about. How long does the process take after the job offer is accepted? Can you negotiate the pay rate?
