Thanks for a good article.  Just because you were older when you lost your job, it doesn't mean there isn't a future for you.  I'm doing the same thing you did right now by using social media and good content to influence and help others.  So far it's working.  Networking also helps.  I've found that my fantastic networking stories are the best networking currency because those stories literally make people's jaws drop.  I try to inspire others to do the same thing.  Thanks again.
