Wish me luck - job interview today

Good Luck. I was in a similar position to yours some 17 years ago. My youngest son died at age of 25 years, and in an effort to try to sort out my life I applied for a part-time job. This was in 2002, and I had not been in paid work since 1969 when I had my first child.
Even on the morning of the interview I had to keep talking myself out of panic mode. I was 61 years old and had been out of the employment market for over thirty years. I had, however, done unpaid voluntary work as an administrator and this served to get me that job I was being interviewed for in the NHS.
Over the following nine years, I increased my hours, upped my grade and made lots of friends and had a wonderful time, finally retiring just prior to my 70th birthday.
Do let us know how you get on, fizzers, even if this one does not turn out successful, keep going.

Sending good luck wishes. Do let us know how you get on

Nothing is ever impossible and there are some places who prefer the more " mature " and experienced workers. Grit your teeth and prepare to move forward.
The best of luck to you.
There should be no age discrimination, right ?

Wishing you good luck, fizzers.
Here’s hoping that all the positive vibes from your fellow GN’s will bring you success.?

Good luck! I went for two job interviews after a gap of 14 years when I relocated to another area. I got both jobs and am very happy working again , albeit part time. I cannot afford not to as my outgoings are more than my pension money so it’s good that I love the job I’m in.

Don’t forget you have loads of work and life experience. Tell yourself they are lucky to have you because of that. Try and relax and really listen to what they are asking you. Take your time answering you are allowed space to think about your answer.

When you get it it’s an exciting new bit of your life!

Wishing you luck

I agree with Annepl, you may really enjoy it, lots of older people in the workplace these days, let us know how you get on.

Every good luck, life can be a real bummer, but try to stay positive and fingers crossed

Even getting an interview is a bit of a triumph.
Good luck to you.
Try not to view it as an awful necessity, but an adventure which might open many doors.
Fingers crossed for you.
