It is the story of one man's journey in finding employment at age 50 during a very difficult job market. His search for work found him looking deep inside himself for answers. John C. Kelley had to ask these questions--- Why did this happen to me? Am I too old to find work again? Will I have to sell my home and move out of town? How will my family take this loss? After one year and not finding a job, he felt a tremendous amount of fear about the future. His whole world was collapsing right in front of his eyes. He was going through his own personal War On Terror. He was scared and frightened. His self-esteem was at an all time low. Mr. Kelley had to reinvent himself and start all over. He had to rewrite his resume and learn how to conduct himself during an interview. This book tells how he conquered his fears and eventually found work again in 2003. But once employed again, how does one keep that job? What are the new tricks-of-the-trade that he learned about Corporate America? 50 and Out gives the reader new and creative ideas on working in the 21st Century.
