You can share personal tidbits with your readers, which bonds us all as humans and friends. It does have to be done carefully, of course. Names, addresses and embarrasing people we know and love obviously are off limits. <br /><br />On admiting to prospective employers that you're a grandma; of course I think it's fine. You look anything but old. That's not the point though. They'd find out soon anyway and being totally upfront and honest is always best. There's ageism out there no doubt about it, but increasingly as the generational shift happens (older workers leaving longtime positions) employers will find that having some maturity and life experience on staff, along with the enthusiasm and naiviety of the younger employees is an asset they may not be able to do without. And, if we get some kind of national healthcare in place (another rant) the oness of hiring older workers will be lessened significantly. <br /><br />Mucho congratulations on the nino abuelita!sue campbellhttp://www.suecampbellgraphicdesign.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910977505343529136.post-90341434587774341782009-07-30T08:20:43.778-07:002009-07-30T08:20:43.778-07:00This is wonderful Yvette.
