Congratulations!!! I can identify so much with your writings. We tend to underestimate ourselves because of two things that, to some places of employment, are at the top of their list of priorities.....age and appearance. I've seen it happen too many times....."Barbie" will win out over the older, heavier, but much more superior and experienced applicant. I'm so glad that in
