My mom has been unemployed for more than a year, and simply can't seem to find a job. She sends out applications all day, gets interviews, and has been a final candidate on several occasions, but she still hasn't landed a job. She's 58 years old with many years of journalism/communication experience, and has won multiple awards for her writing, so her resume is quite impressive. She and I both believe that there may be some ageism at hand, though of course we can't be sure. What are some things she may be able to do when applying and interviewing for jobs that could help her stand out amongst younger candidates with similar resumes?

Thanks so much for your response! I will definitely pass this on to her.

Yup, my parents both worked at the same paper and were offered buyouts at the same time. One took it, one didn't. It worked out at the time because my dad (the one who took it) was a popular sports journalist and it was very easy for him to find another position based on reputation.

To what extent do you think nutrition and exercise impact the severity of ADHD symptoms? Do you feel that supplements (B-12, omega-3s, ect.) are helpful?
