At that moment in the mirror, I challenge myself physically as I don’t feel like I’m over forty, and the face I’m looking at cannot be accurate, but according to my birth certificate, it is. I mean, hell, I still feel young, so how can I look so dif- ferent? Simply put, I’m just a twenty-year-old that now has twenty-five years of work experience, a family, and has journeyed through the ups and downs of life. Even though this is what I believe, I now know others don’t feel the same, especially when it comes to the work place. Here is my re- cent reality check. Last year I left my corporate job of 14 years. I was in a space where I had the opportunity to find a new job with a new company. I felt fresh, excited and limitless. Although it had been a while since I last interviewed, I thought, “No problem. I’ve got this. I used to any get any job I wanted, so finding a new one should pretty be easy.” After a few interviews, good interviews I thought, I wasn’t getting hired. Frustration set in because I could not figure out what was so different this time around. After all, my re- sume was stronger and more accomplished than my younger years. But something had changed. I aged. Call me naive, but I did not think that my age would be an obstacle in the workplace. I had heard this from other women over the years, but I chose not to believe them be- cause certainly it would never happen to me. Here is a true story: A sales recruiter was helping a sales manager fill an open position. The recruiter sent her a resume of a female can- didate with a college graduation date of 1998. The sales manager abruptly turned down the resume. In addition, she let the recruiter know that she didn’t want to see any re- sumes with college graduation dates prior to 2003. This was the sales manager’s criterion for what she deemed to be a viable candidate. Not experience, not achievements, not abilities. Simply age. This true story was painful for me to hear. Here was a woman selling out other women and contributing to the stigma that we fight every day and sadly her perspective is a harsh reality. However, let this statistic give you another reality check and perspective. In 2024, women over 65 will make up roughly the same percentage of the female work- force as older men do of the male workforce. Additionally, twice as many women over 55 will be in the labor force as women ages 16-24. Knowing the stigma, knowing the numbers, and the real- ity, what is the best way to approach finding a new job later in life? Here are 5 tips when looking for a new job over the age of 40: 1. Use your Network Sending our resumes to career websites will do nothing for us. We get pushed aside as we are categorized. The tip here is to use our network of colleagues, former busi- ness associates and friends to find companies who are hir- ing and will have a genuine interest in what we can do for their organizations. This method does work. Finding like - minded individuals with the same goals of working smart and getting stuff done will provide the best platform for find- ing a new working environment. 2. Show off your skills At this point in our careers, we have a proven list of ac- complishments and skillsets. We have navigated some of our toughest times and have already been through the learning. Because of this we require less training and pos- sess the right skills, because yeah, we know how to do it. We need to show off our confidence and accolades to a po- tential employer. They need to know that our leadership skills and experience will fit in flawlessly with their company. 3. Be bold We can ask harder questions in the interview process and as an employee. Perhaps questions that challenge company methods or goals. If anything as women, unfor- tunately, we have been taught to be compliant and agree- able to get through the stepping -stones of our careers. We don’t have to do that anymore. We have arrived. Work ex- perience has taught us to think quickly, make decisions and share opinions. We have a lot to teach, and hiring compa- nies need to appreciate this. 4. Seek a mentor, be a mentor In recent weeks I have had great women mentor me. Women of a certain age. Women who are drama free, make sh*t happen and don’t sweat the small stuff. I appre- ciate them, have learned from them and have committed to do the same for others. This is important as this will help us change the tide and break the stigma. 5. We are already tech savvy Much to the disbelief of others, age doesn’t stifle our tech knowledge. It’s who we are as a society. Most of us already use work related apps like Zoom, Slack, Dropbox and oth- ers. The point is, our tech knowledge isn’t lacking, so that is no excuse for hiring companies or managers. We are al- ready there. This is not a hinderance. The battle continues. In my earlier years as a woman in the corporate world I fought to make a mark. Now, I’m fight- ing the same female battle in addition to 20+ years of life and work experience. This should get easier shouldn’t it? It doesn’t, so it is up to us to change it. We have to change the mindset by challenging the current stigma. Because we have arrived and we are not going anywhere.

The cost of workplace rudeness (pg.4)

When I look in the mirror, forthe first 5 seconds I still see atwenty- year -old. Then the visi-ble wrinkles around my eyes andjowls provide a friendly reminderthat I’m not twenty anymore.

At that moment in the mirror, I challenge myself physicallyas I don’t feel like I’m over forty, and the face I’m looking atcannot be accurate, but according to my birth certificate, itis. I mean, hell, I still feel young, so how can I look so dif-ferent?

For the more than 1 millionsingle moms in college, get-ting a degree appears to be aworthy investment, as long asthey're able to make itthrough.

For every dollar a singlemom in college invests in hereducation, she gets back$16.45 in increased earningsif she earns an associate's de-gree and $8.50 if she earns abachelor's degree, accordingto a study published this weekby the Institute for Women's

Policy Research, a think tank. (The study found that each

dollar invested goes farther foran associate's degree be-cause the cost is significantlyless than a bachelor's de-gree).

But reaching the finish linecan be elusive for this group,putting their investment injeopardy.

Just 8% of single motherswho enroll in college graduatewithin six years, compared toabout 49% of women in col-lege overall, IWPR notes.

That's because these stu-dents often struggle to find thefunds to afford college - 89%

of single mothers in school arelow-income - and typicallyneed to balance child care,working and school responsi-bilities.

Though the research is rela-tively thin, there's evidence tosuggest that investing in sup-port services for student-par-ents, like campus child-careprograms, increase the likeli-hood that they'll persist andgraduate.

The new brief adds to thatbody of research. It shows thatwhen single moms are able tocomplete college, it pays offfor them and society. Dirty Card Tricks:

Help your college studentavoid these costly moneymistakesArticle courtesy of the Omaha World-Herald via “The Rundown”

During the college years, parents and studentsare often focused on preparing and working for afuture career.

But what is sometimes forgotten is taking a look at their financial futureand protecting it long before a college student graduates and lands a job.

A college student's choice of study will clearly impact his or her futurecareer, but the spending decisions he or she makes now will also affecthis or her financial future.

Research by federal debt consolidation firm Consolidated Credit on howstudents today rely on credit cards found that 63 percent of college stu-dents say they have made a purchase without having the funds to pay thebill.

With students already facing high costs of tuition, doing what it takes tohave a sound financial future is more important than ever.

Here are five money mistakes college students make and how you canbest advise an incoming freshman to avoid them from Justin Lavelle, thecommunications director for BeenVerified:Overusing a credit cardThe best advice for your college student is to simply avoid credit cards.If you do decide to give your freshman a credit card "for emergencies",

make sure that he or she fully understands that it's meant to be used foronly that.

U.S. house prices are set torise this year at the fastestpace since 2015 and at morethan double the rate of paygrowth and consumer priceinflation for the sixth year in arow, a Reuters poll of propertymarket experts showed onThursday.

ut the rate of house pricegrowth is expected to slow in2019, underscoring a widelyheld view among respondentsthat the strong rise in propertyprices is not supported by ro-bust turnover and activity, butinstead a shortage of supply.

A dearth of property on themarket, particularly single-family homes, is pushing al-ready expensive houses

further out of reach for manypotential buyers at a timewhen rising mortgage ratesare also starting to pinch.

While U.S. property priceshave recovered smartly froma meltdown over a decadeago, housing market activityhas been relatively sluggish,certainly compared with boomtimes before the last financialcrisis.

That was clear in the sec-ond quarter.

The U.S. economy ex-panded at its fastest pace innearly four years, but wageincreases were moderate andsales of existing homes -which make up about 90 per-cent of supply - fell.

Study:The cost of workplace rudenessArticle courtesy of Wall Street Journalvia “The Rundown”

When we're pressed at work, it's tempting to letmanners slip. Whether it's ignoring a colleague'semail request, snapping at someone in a meeting or

interrupting a conversation to respond to a text mes-sage, modern workplace rudeness is varied and ram-pant.

Because rudeness-offensive words or deeds thatgo against social norms-can be more subtle and be-nign than harassment or bullying, targets may as-sume that it's just a routine, if unpleasant, part of theworkday.

But a growing body of research suggests that rude-ness can harm an employee's well-being and job per-formance.

Persistent low levels of rudeness-such as being ig-nored or put down, particularly by someone in a po-sition of power-can threaten an employee's sense ofbelonging, according to research published this year

Study: Record low numbers of millennialsthink buying a home is agood investment-here'swhy...Article courtesy of CNBC via “The Rundown”

America's attitude towards home-ownershipis changing. Only 48 percent of millennials(age 21-36) believe that buying a home is agood investment, according to the latest Val-ueInsured Modern Homebuyer Survey.

That's a record low, according to the report, and a sharp contrast tothe previous high of 77 percent just two years ago.

Most of the respondents said they believe home prices are too high.The vast majority, 85 percent, said they expect a down payment to costmore than half of the total value of their personal assets.

In July, the median cost of homes in the U.S. was $269,600, up 4 per-cent from a year ago. New home sales, meanwhile, fell to a nine-monthlow. Because of high prices and limited supply, many prospective home-owners are struggling to find homes they like for prices they're willingto, or able to, pay.

In this survey, nearly a third of respondents said they'd need to relo-cate to another city to be able to afford a place. The same number didn'tthink they can continue to eat healthy while saving for a down payment,while a quarter said they would have to delay having children if theywere to buy.

"Conventional wisdom assumed millennials were buying homes laterbecause they chose to get married and have children later," said JoeMelendez, CEO and founder of ValueInsured. "New research now sug-gests homeownership may be the cause, not the effect, of delayed fam-ily formation."

According to an Urban Institute report, around 45 percent of BabyBoomers and Gen Xers owned homes when they were between theages of 25 and 34, compared to only 37 percent of millennials. Aroundhalf simply cannot afford a down payment, the report found. That'slargely because, compared to previous generations, millennials are bur-dened with more student debt and higher rents, which keep them frombeing able to save.

This isolation, in turn, can bringon stomach problems, sleepless-ness and headaches.

Rudeness can even be conta-gious. In a study published lastyear in the Journal of Applied Psy-chology, researchers sent threeemails a day to 70 employeesover two weeks.

Subjects were asked questionsabout both their colleagues' andtheir own recent behavior, such asif they or a colleague had beencondescending. They also com-pleted performance tasks thatmeasured self-control.

The more rudeness employeesendured during the day, the lessself-control they showed and themore likely they were to act rudelyto others.

Lead researcher ChristopherRosen of the University ofArkansas says, "Experiencing in-civility wears people down, affectscognition and depletes the re-sources they have for controllingtheir own behavior."

Study: Record low numbers of millennials think buying a home is a good investment-here's whyArticle courtesy of CNBC via “The Rundown”

America's attitude towards home-ownership ischanging. Only 48 percent of millennials (age 21-36) believe that buying a home is a good invest-ment, according to the latest ValueInsuredModern Homebuyer Survey.

That's a record low, according to the report, and a sharp con-trast to the previous high of 77 percent just two years ago.

Most of the respondents said they believe home prices aretoo high.

The vast majority, 85 percent, said they expect a down pay-ment to cost more than half of the total value of their personalassets.

In July, the median cost of homes in the U.S. was $269,600,up 4 percent from a year ago. New home sales, meanwhile,fell to a nine-month low. Because of high prices and limitedsupply, many prospective homeowners are struggling to findhomes they like for prices they're willing to, or able to, pay.

In this survey, nearly a third of respondents said they'd needto relocate to another city to be able to afford a place.

The same number didn't think they can continue to eathealthy while saving for a down payment, while a quarter saidthey would have to delay having children if they were to buy.

"Conventional wisdom assumed millennials were buyinghomes later because they chose to get married and have chil-dren later," said Joe Melendez, CEO and founder of ValueIn-sured.

"New research now suggests homeownership may be thecause, not the effect, of delayed family formation."

According to an Urban Institute report, around 45 percent ofBaby Boomers and Gen Xers owned homes when they werebetween the ages of 25 and 34, compared to only 37 percentof millennials.

Around half simply cannot afford a down payment, the reportfound. That's largely because, compared to previous genera-tions, millennials are burdened with more student debt andhigher rents, which keep them from being able to save.

Predictive Shopping: Doretailers know what wantto buy before you do?Article courtesy of The Conversation via “The Rundown”

Whether you do your shopping online or in store, your retail experienceis the latest battleground for the artificial intelligence (AI) and machinelearning revolution.

Major retailers have begun to realize that they have a lot to gain fromgetting their AI strategy right, with one currently recruiting for a Head ofAI and Machine Learning supported by a team of data scientists.Your shopping habitsAI can detect underlying patterns in your shopping behavior from the

products you buy and the way in which you buy them.This could be your regular purchases of rice from the supermarket,

sporadic purchases of wine from the liquor store, and Friday night bingeson ice cream at the local convenience store.

Whereas inventory and sales database systems simply track pur-chases of individual products, with sufficient data, machine learning sys-tems can predict your regular habits. It knows you like cooking risottoevery Monday night, but also your more complex behavior like the occa-sional ice cream binge.

Study: US teensprefer remote chats to face-to-face meetingsArticle courtesy of Voice of America

American teenagers are starting to prefer com-municating via text instead of meeting face-to-face,according to a study published Monday by the in-dependent organization Common Sense Media.

Some 35 percent of kids aged 13 to 17 years oldsaid they would rather send a text than meet up withpeople, which received 32 percent.

The last time the media and technology-focusednonprofit conducted such a survey in 2012, meetingface-to-face hit 49 percent, far ahead of texting's 33percent.

More than two-thirds of American teens chooseremote communication -- including texting, socialmedia, video conversation and phone conversation-- when they can, according to the study.

In 2012 less than half of them marked a similarpreference.

Notably, in the six-year span between the twostudies the proportion of 13- to 17-year-olds withtheir own smartphone increased from 41 to 89 per-cent.

As for social networks, 81 percent of respondentssaid online exchange is part of their lives, with 32percent calling it "extremely" or "very" important.

The most-used platform for this age group isSnapchat (63 percent), followed by Instagram (61percent) and Facebook (43 percent).

Some 54 percent of the teens who use social net-works said it steals attention away from those intheir physical presence.

Two-fifths of them said time spent on social mediaprevents them from spending more time with friendsin person.
