When we surround ourselves with like-minded people, we create a sense of community and belonging. Mature job seekers face a unique set of challenges, and being in a group where they are accepted, understood, and valued can be crucial. Confidence is built when we share experiences with others, reminding us that we are not alone on our job search journey.
