Some stories need to be shared — and this may be the right place to start. My readers are interested in learning about your experience with job loss, particularly if you are a professional in the 45+ age group. This demographic has been the most affected by layoffs, mergers, or a poor economy.

Your story can be poignant, moving, inspiring, motivating, or just tell about the repercussions of job loss, the subsequent struggle to get by or survive, find other work, and/or make a new start.

If you are interested in sharing, please submit your story by signing below as a guest blogger. You assume full responsibility for anything you write. Real names and places may be changed for the sake of anonymity. Submissions should not exceed 500 words and may be edited for grammar or punctuation. And if you’d like to contact me or provide feedback, please also submit that information below.
