I read, with interest, a post a while back from a retired
teacher who hoped to re-join the workforce. I am also in
that boat. I'm not young (65) but have lots of energy and
passion for my profession. I've continued to substitute
regularly and have kept up with any changes that have taken
place since my retirement a few years ago. I have good
references and would probably interview well. I checked
and triple checked with my retirement system and after I
reach a certain age I can work anywhere, any place at
anytime...no restrictions. I will most likely be asked why
I retired in the first place; telling the truth, that it
was a mistake, may sound like I'm not able to make
decisions. Also, at an interview should I approach the
subject of age (the elephant in the room) or not. I guess
I'd like to hear any suggestions or advice you might have.
There's currently not an opening in my subject area but I
anticipate one next year. Thanks very much.
