Wait a minute!!  You see me as past my prime!  I see me as in my prime! It was pointed out to me that I need to break that stereotype by my actions and enthusiasm for gaining employment in my dream job.  Keeping my resume current with up to date skills and education is important to demonstrate a contemporary mindset. I will make my experience my greatest asset and prove the nay-sayers wrong.  

If I don’t believe it how is anyone else going to believe it.
