This group is for senior-level Creative, Marketing and Advertising professionals who wish to discuss job/career issues such as ageism and how to fight it, best ways of finding a new job or career, reinventing oneself, combating detrimental hiring blocks related to salary, staying fresh and creative, and other important issues being encountered today by aging baby boomers today.
This is an open forum for members to discuss the problems they encounter day in and day out related to the misguided notion that the most creative and productive employees are under age 50 (or 45 or 40). We'll also share in each other's successes.
But more than just promoting talk, this group will hopefully foster action, public awareness, and ultimately help out-of-work professionals contribute their years of experience and amazing creativity to the field they love. Already, members have gotten work through this group!
There will also be meet-ups of the Chicago-area group members.
