Bloggie pals!
There's this place I really want to work for but it's one of those institutions where jobs are scarce to come by or they hardly advertise BUT after FIVE years of clicking on their website and vacancies page, FINALLY an opportunity arose.
It is now midnight, Sunday. The deadline is Monday 12 noon. I've just emailed them my CV and cover letter...
LOL!
Talk about living on the edge...
Gumtree says: I stay well away from any edge!
Wish me luck bloggie pals! Doubts are already setting in:
1) I am too old for the job.
2) There are probably a million and one applicants younger and more experienced than me.
3) I am too old for the job. LOL!
Not to worry bloggie pals - I may have doubts but I know to pull up my big girl pants, big myself up, jut my chin out and treat myself to a large cappuccino with extra sprinkle of chocolate!
Have a great week, y'all!

Let your youthful attitude shine through Kitty - you are not too old! Praying you get the job.
Gumtree is playing stretch kitty.
And a whole case of invisible underwear is on its way...
Good luck!
Gumtree, you look far too comfortable like that.
Disaster will ensue.
I wish you the very BEST of luck dear friend! PLASE let us know how it goes.
Good luck with the job--you never know, you could be the one! Love the photo of Gumtree, what a nut! :-)
best of luck
Oh yay! Best of luck!! Totally hoping you get it. :D
You are NOT too old! The other applicants won't be as good as you! And you are NOT too old! :-)
Fingers crossed and stay positive - they will be lucky to have you :-) x
Very best of luck.
Congrats Kitty! Fingers crossed for you that it works out and you get the job.
Even if, by some chance, you don't get it, you tried and that's the main thing to take away from this. This place is somewhere you've really wanted to work and going for it just means something. Good luck.
Best of luck:) Someone sure does look comfortable.
We are purring for you and Mum has got her fingers crossed that you are chosen as the right applicant for the job. Good Luck Jenn. Purrs to the boys for putting up with your jitters!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
haha...Gum looks like my cats! They love to lay right there!
Best of luck with the job!!!
Virtual cookies being sent your way!
Oh good luck on getting your dream job!!!!
Hello! wishing you lots of cat luck to get that job! It's nice to meet you. purrs, Rio from Barcelona
Good luck!
OMC, fingers and paws crossed! Our human says it's very brave of you to go for it--you're NOT too old, but sometimes we get pretty set and comfortable in our lives/routines, and it can take courage to break out. Good for you!
Best of luck! The other candidates can't be younger AND more experienced, surely.
Jennifer, congratulations on "taking the plunge" in applying for the job you'd really, really like to have. We're rooting for you.
As far as your "litany of doubts"; I can understand your thinking--but you're all wrong. You've got it in spades!
Now about that Gumtree--what a cute shot--now that's "living on the edge".
Again best of luck with your application submission.
Here's hoping you get it! No, you are NOT too old. Keep telling yourself that!
I'm with Gumtree....

Good luck, Kitty! You're never too old, you really aren't... but quite honestly I am discovering that people think I am too old. I know I'm not, but other younger folks don't feel the same way. It's not fair, that's for sure.
But screw 'em if they can't take a joke!
And GOOD LUCK!!!!! Go get 'em!
Sounds like very hard-to-get job but good luck! Gumtree looks very comfy and safe in the middle of the desk :-) I hope Charlie is enjoying some naps too! Have a great new week xoxo
Good luck to you and I'm sending big thoughts of a smashing success your way right now!
Sending you lots of luck!!
Unless the opening is for a gymnastics competitor in the next Olympics, there is no way you're too old for the job!
I hope you get it, Kitty darling. I'll be rooting for you and sending good vibes and thoughts your way.
Have a great week!!!!!!!!!!!
Well we all have our paws crossed for you. Just think positive that you will get that job. We sure hope so anyway. Gumtree, you are doing such a good job helping the Mom with the computer work. Take care.
We have everything crossed her. Paws, toes and fingers. Hope you get the job you have been looking for. Remember age is but a number and experience counts. Hugs GJ xx
Everything crossed for you! Much luck!!
We send good luckies to you! Think positive! Me-Ommmmm
Ooh! I hope you get it. There's nothing better than having a job you love :)
Good luck!
Send you lots of happy thoughts. I'm not too fond of anyone thinking someone is too old for a job, so I know you're just right with some life experience.
We all wish you the best and we would hire you if we were in charge!
good luck - and there is no such thing as too old for the job - trust me! I interview & hire a lot of people.
Wishing, hoping, and praying you get the job! Lots of hugs and happy wishes to you. Fingers and toes crossed, too. ;)
Do not forget, with age comes wisdom! And there maybe a million and one applicants, but there is only one of you :)
GOOD LUCK! xo
Wishing you good luck! I'm certain you can do whatever you put your mind to, besides which how can someone younger have more experience. You may have different experiences but I bet they'll be just as useful!
Gumtree looks very comfy in the spot. What a stretch!
oh!! Best wishes for the job! I hope you get it. And old is only in the mind...unless the job is on rollerblades then the jury's out ;)
Good luck, sweet Old Kitty!
I hope you will get what you want!
Have a wonderful week!
I hope you get the job! Good for you for applying. I know exactly how you feel about the age thing.
Love Gumtree's pose! Maybe he's saying, "Let it all hang out, Mom!"
There's no such thing as "too old"! Hoping you get it.
ahha! Great place to take naps!
Have a nice week!
We are purring that you get this one! Thank you for coming to our Gotcha Day Party for Mamacita and Rosa!
Good luck mate, fingers and paws crossed this end :-) x x x
Awww...think positive. All the best.

I'm crossing my fingers and toes for you. Good luck.
So exciting! Wishing you the best of luck :)
Crossing paws you get it!
Good luck, Old Kitty! We have paws and fingers crossed for you here!
Good luck to you! You're never to old. Sprinkle on the chocolate and enjoy your cappuccino.
LUCK!
Hey, if it's right, the position will be yours. If it's not, you don't want to be there. Still, I'm hoping for you. *fingers and toes crossed*
You're never too old for a job, especially if you have big girl panties on. And you do!
How lucky you are to have cats like Gumdrop and Charlie to show you how to take things in stride.
Great to be back from my break. Missed your posts.
I've know 20 year olds much older than you.
Good luck.
Keep applying and trying. That's what I did and eventually I got something.
Sending you lots of positive thoughts for this dream job!!!
Good luck, good luck, good luck! Keep us posted.
You're not old--you're experienced. And remember, you were carded not that long ago.
Best of luck!!! You deserve a fab job!
xx
You are never too old. I hope that all went well.
Gary :)
GOOD LUCK! You have more experience the older you get ;O)xx
Best of luck - 5 years of devotion has to pay off :)
Hi Old Kitty - I sure hope it all works out for you - and let us know - well you will won't you! Cheers Hilary
Good luck, Jenn! I hope this job will come true for you!
Gumtree has a belly that just begs to be tickled!
