Baby Boomers: Job Interview Questions and Responses

Many baby boomers seeking employment after years of not working or working elsewhere go through job interviews where there can be questions from employers, or others. How a baby boomer responds, appropriately or inappropriately, may be the determining factor in hiring. Appropriate responses are more likely to lead to hiring. Note that humor in conjunction with inappropriate responses reinforces the necessity for appropriate responses.    

Consider the following example:

As a baby boomer, you applied for a job and received a telephone call from a potential employer asking you to come in for an interview. You agreed to do so, but all of a sudden, you are starting to experience a twinge of nervousness and uncertainty about the pending interview. What ever happened to all of your courage? Perhaps you had a lot more confidence when you applied for your first job at age 16. If you went to the grocery store or the doctor’s office, you might feel more confident than you do now. Why is this any different? 

"You took early retirement, as a baby boomer," a receptionist comments. "Wonderful!"

You just stand there.

"Now what?" she thinks, wondering why you are not saying anything.    

You could have said, “Thank you.”

Courtesy is always in order, even if you are stunned.

The following is a general overview of the kinds of questions that a potential employer might ask you.

Your interviewer proves to be a man who you have never met.

"Hello! My name is Joe. How are you today?"

"I am absolutely terrified! Oops, I did not really mean to say that. I think I will be ok, after I get out of here! I really did not want to come in today, at all! I had to take my dog to the vet. He is waiting in the car. I wonder if I opened the car window."

This exactly what you are not going to say even though this may be how you feel.

Instead, smile, stand up and offer to shake your potential employer's hand. After all, he is considering you as a possible employee and treating you with respect, so use this response instead.

"I am wonderful, thank you. My name is Brenda. How are you today?"

Here is an opening statement your employer may make. He has to start the conversation somewhere.

"You saw our job advertisement in the paper?"

"I did and it scares the hell out of me, because I have lost all of my confidence and I don't think that I can do it. I am too old to work anymore. Don't you know that I am a baby boomer?"

This is another answer that you are not going to give, even though this is what you are thinking or feeling. Remember that first impressions are extremely important. Respond this way, instead.

"Yes, I did see that advertisement and decided to apply for it because it looks like an excellent job opportunity for me."

Now the employer moves on to his next question. 

"May I ask why you applied here, at this time?"

"That is a really frightening question. Well, let me see. My previous employer told me I was getting too old to stay on my other job, about ten years ago but I stayed there anyhow. Now they have forced me to take an early retirement, just because I asked for some time to take a nap, every afternoon."

This is exactly what the potential employer does not want to hear from a baby boomer, even if this actually happened to you. For some, it is all right to take an early retirement. In fact, many baby boomers are doing just that, for one reason or another. You do have other possible answers that you can give, like this one.

"I have been building my literary profile recently. Research is one field that I would like to develop further, as it has always been a very interesting area of inquiry to me."

Your employer continues, now asking you this question.

"Are you seeking full or part-time employment?"

"Let's see. I do not really know what I want. I have to go my swimming club meeting on Wednesdays, so I do not work that day. Fridays are out too, because my children come to visit me then. I hate getting up on Monday morning. Tuesday evenings, I am always busy, as I go shopping with the girls. What do you think I should do?"

By now, your prospective employer knows that you are not about to work full time and in fact, you do not really know what hours you do want to work. He or she is not about to make that decision for you.

Try this response instead.

"I am seeking full time work, but I am willing to consider part-time employment. How many hours per week are you offering?"

Here is another important question that he may ask.

"Are you available to work on weekends?"

"Work on weekends? I absolutely do not work on weekends, as that is absurd. I go to the cottage up north every weekend, with my poodle, Tiger. The poor dear is fifteen years old and we have gone there for the last fifteen years. Do you have a poodle, too? My last dog lived to be eighteen years old. He wandered out into the street and got hit by a car!"

Obviously, for your employer, this is not an appropriate response. If going to work on this job entails working weekends, you might have just closed the door. Note that your employer probably does not want to disclose his or her personal information to you. Neither does he want to know about your weekend cottage visits, your dog or your other dog, how he died, etc.

You can respond differently by simply asking a question.

"How many weekends a month would you like me to work?"

Here is another typical employer statement, in a job interview.

"Tell me about your previous job and your reason for leaving."

"I really don't want to answer that question. (Sobbing) No, I will not tell you about this. It was a horrible job and I had a bad experience. My boss fired me because..."

Now, your potential employer is getting uncomfortable. He or she does not know whether to hug you and send you packing immediately.

There are better answers, like this one.

"My previous job was a wonderful experience for me, as I had an opportunity to advance my literary career. I learned new job skills that may be beneficial to your company. I have come to know some fantastic people, too."

Then, there is always this question from a prospective employer, 

"What are your salary expectations?"

"I don't think that I am worth what you are offering in the paper. I forget what that was. Maybe around $3000.00 dollars per month, but I do not know what this kind of work is worth. I have never really looked into it. Maybe I am asking for too much?"

Can you see what you just did? You may have turned down what could have been an excellent salary or one that could be higher than your expectations. You put yourself down, as well. Did you really need to do that?

Here is a more appropriate response.

"What you are offering as a monthly salary appears to be appropriate for this particular job description. Do you offer a benefit package, as well?"

Employers love to ask this question.

"Why should I hire you?'

"I don't think you should hire me, because somebody younger can probably do a much better job than I can. I am so dumb! The kids nowadays are so much smarter than we were at that age. They have all of the advantages that we have never had. Most of them do not appreciate them either. Don't you agree?"

At this point and with that response, do not expect to this employer to hire you. You have shown your prospective employer that you really do not feel that you are able to do this kind of work. He or she will likely find someone younger.

Give this kind of an answer instead.

"My literary project was on a research topic, one that might be of benefit to your company. It contains projections for the future. Would you be interested in reading my latest article? It is posted on my web site."

Once you have passed this interview, a second interview may be in order.

"Would you be willing to come in for a second interview, with the rest of my management team?"

"Absolutely not, either you hire me today, or go find someone else! Do you think that I have nothing else to do with my time and energy? Who is going to pay for the gas I need for my car to drive all this way, again? I am so busy. I have to cut my grass too."

Employers do not appreciate this kind of an attitude. Many jobs require several interviews by different levels of management. Remember that the other part of the management team, might recommend that this person hire you. Ultimatums tend to end negotiations immediately. By the way, if you do not demonstrate some degree of flexibility, why would any employer want to hire you?

Here is a better answer.

"Certainly, I would me more than happy to meet with the rest of your management team. In fact, I am looking forward to it. Do you have a particular date and time, in mind?"

After this question, it may be your turn to ask questions that you have, so prepare them ahead of time.

"Do you have any questions that you would like to ask me?"

"Questions, why did you have to ask me that? Of course, I do not have any questions as I have not had a chance to think about this, at all. Are your really dumb, or what?"

Now, you have shown your prospective employer that you came to this interview unprepared. Had you done some research on the job, you might have had several, excellent questions you could have asked him. You might also have opened a new area of interest to discuss with your new employer. By the way, you just insulted your employer too, so the door is there for you.

This works better.

"Yes, I do. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to ask you some questions. When I was researching this particular role in your company, I realized that it included freelance writing projects, with possible travel options. May we discuss those in the future? I love to travel and write too."

Your employer is now summing up the interview.

"I have several other interviews to do today. Then I plan to contact everyone who I want to introduce to our management team either by telephone, or by e-mail. Do you have an e-mail address and an answering machine? By the way, if you don't hear from us immediately, you will know that we are still busy doing interviews."

"That figures, no I don't have e-mail. What is e-mail anyhow? I am a dinosaur, when it comes to computers. I never use those things. They are only for kids who play silly video games. I disconnected my telephone and my answering machine a long time ago because I got fed up with all of those stupid telemarketing calls, all the time."

If you respond this way, how do you expect this employer to contact you? Do you think that he or she is hiring dinosaurs? Do you really expect him to hire anyone who talks to him like that, probably not! Maybe you did not really want this particular job and it is time to do some upgrading in computer skills?

This response is far more appropriate.

"I have included my e-mail address and website address in the cover letter of my resume, along with my literary portfolio. I think that you might enjoy browsing through it. I have an answering machine with this telephone number and my fax number is included, too. By the way, I am willing to upgrade my computer skills at any time. I will be expecting to hear from you."

Your interview is over and you survived it!

"I will be in touch with you, in the near future. Thank you for coming in."

"Whew! Am I ever glad this is over! I really need a smoke. I can hardly wait to get out of here and go to the casino. I am meeting a whole bunch of my baby boomer friends, for lunch. We going to have a few drinks and play the slot machines, for a few hours."

Did you forget to thank this potential employer for interviewing you? Do you think that any employer needs, or wants to hire someone who did not remember to say thank you? He probably does not want someone who has a smoking, drinking and gambling addiction either. 

Obviously, you did not enjoy this interview and your potential employer has probably not enjoyed it either. Maybe he or she has already shredded your resume.

Close your interview in a more professional manner.

"Thank you for taking the time to interview me. I appreciate it. I realize that your time is valuable. I will be waiting to hear from you. Thanks again!"

Offer to shake his hand as you say goodbye.  

These are only a few of the potential questions and answers for baby boomers seeking employment. If you have reasonable qualifications and respond to questions in professional manner, you will get an invitation to come in for a second interview and more than likely, you can expect to have a new job in an appropriate position.

Congratulations on succeeding with your first interview, and getting a new job, baby boomer!

The New Tower of Babel: Inherent Implosion

"Try my inherent implosion theory on that one," said Morgan, a budding, young architect who was pointing her index finger towards a tall building in the heart of a new city growing in leaps and bounds.

Numerous tall buildings towered high on the horizon, particularly this one. It was going to be the highest of all. Its shiny, glass front seemed to splash brilliant, rainbow colors all around and created wonderful beams that radiated from its heart, like those of a diamond exposed to a brilliant light.

"That is my project," said Morgan to her boyfriend. Isn't it marvelous?" 

Todd was a new architectural graduate she had been dating for a while, but she had never discussed her project with him.
. 
She smiled at him sweetly. 

"It is already so beautiful, and it is not finished yet."

"Inherent implosion theory?" the young man asked, marveling at her new recent architectural structure rising high into the sky. "Are you serious? What on earth are you talking about?"

"I am very serious. Look me straight in the eye and then tell me that this building does not have an inherent implosion potential. I know it does, as I designed it. There is no such a thing as a perfect architectural design. Strengthening one aspect of a building has a tendency to weaken other aspects of it.” 

"Inherent implosion is a flaw inevitable in any structure then."

"Right, but there is a lot more to it than that. Figure this out. How can an architect guarantee the future of any building project in our era, much less that of other times? He or she cannot do that. Look at the cost of property alone in this city. No one can afford to buy property, much less build on it, unless of course the insurance coverage covers the cost of construction and development. The insurance only becomes meaningful when it is destroyed or collapses.”

"That is a scary thought," said Todd. "It also means that anyone could intentionally build a flaw into a structure."

"Preventing that from happening is a challenge for architects like us." 

Morgan smiled at him.

“Morgan, you are so cute when you smile," Todd said, not taking her theory seriously. "Maybe I should ask her tonight," he thought to himself. "I have been thinking about asking you to marry me, but I wanted to graduate with my degree in architecture first."

Todd wondered if Morgan heard what he said. 

"What better way to make certain that there will be another structure on this same site within ‘x’ number of years?" Morgan replied. "That way architects will always have employment, too."

"Inherent implosion potential would suggest that it is can be built right into the architectural design. In other words, so that it is already there when it is constructed."

Todd looked more closely at the new building in the distance, putting his hand up over his eyes to reduce the intensity of the setting sun's rays.

"Maybe I should look a little closer into this. You are really serious," he said aloud.

Morgan nodded. 

"This theory is not a new one. The collapse of buildings is a phenomenon that occurred ever since the time of the Tower of Babel, or probably even before that, maybe on a smaller scale."

“You think that the Tower of Babel may have been constructed in such a way that it was guaranteed to collapse?” Todd asked.

“Just think about it,” replied Morgan. “All of the major structures throughout history have tumbled down, at one time or another.”

 “I want you to marry me. Woman, you have to be some kind of a genius to figure that one out,” replied Todd, smiling at her.

"Oh, come on Todd, take me seriously." Morgan laughed at the look on his face.

“Regardless, I want to keep you around for a while," he said, smiling at her even more sweetly. “I am asking you to marry me," Todd said aloud, as he got down on one knee. "I am serious. Morgan, I love you. I really do want you to be my wife. Will you marry me?”

Morgan did not answer immediately.

She continued to expound upon her theory.

"Do you realize that this means that every single structure ever constructed has the same inherent potential for implosion? Every building constructed in the past will collapse at one time, or another. Those currently under construction or any of them going to be in the future all have the potential to collapse. This includes skyscrapers, other towers, large malls, churches, castles on the Rhine, bridges, dams or even space stations. It is just a matter of time. Architects like us will always have employment, as there will always be more and better structures to design."

"Was that a no'?" Todd wondered, remaining silent for a brief moment. "How do I get you to take me seriously? I want to get married and settle down, maybe raise a few children. Don't you?"

"There is an eternal quest for perfection and only thing that does not have inherent implosion potential."

"What is that?"

"Love, of course!”

"Now we are getting down to brass tacks," said Todd, realizing his dream was about to come true and that was a yes.

Distinguishing Between Love and Passion

At times, it is difficult to distinguish between love and passion and while there can be love without passion, love with passion, is far more desirable. A comparison of love and passion with respect to their meaning and inter-relationship will help to answer this question.

Note that there are many different kinds of love and just as many different kinds of passion. In other words, love is not necessarily passion and passion is not necessarily love, even though there are times, when they may seem to be the same thing. 

Love has many different levels, including divine and human love. The same is also true with respect to passion, as it can also be divine or human.

Place love on a continuum from one to ten. Perhaps you might suggest that love without passion, is one out of ten. Love with passion, could be considered in terms of a higher intensity of love and thus be rated as a ten out of ten. By placing passion on a similar continuum, it might become apparent that it is the same kind of situation. Passion without love, would be a one out of ten and passion with love would be a ten out of ten.  

There are always going to be those who consider love and passion as the same thing, but are they really?

The answer to this question is no. Love implies the emotional attachment or feeling that one has for someone or something. Passion more accurately depicts the level of the intensity of a feeling like love, for someone or something.

Note that both love and passion can have negative connotations, or opposites, as well, but even then, they are not the same thing. It is important to understand them within their own contexts.

Let us look at some examples of love, for a moment. A child can love his or her parents and express that love in many different ways. A child can also love an animal, but that love will be a different expression of love. A child can also love his or her toys.

Compare that to passion. A child can be passionate and demonstrate intense feelings with respect to his or her parents, animals or toys. In other words, the degree of intensity simply varies.

Both love and passion in a negative light can also be on a continuum from one to ten, as well. Love, in a negative context would be non-love or even hate, depending upon the degree of intensity. Passion, in a negative context, would essentially be non-passion, or lack of feeling or emotional involvement. That level can also vary.

Both love and passion are typically used in very broad contexts, as well as inter-changeably, but they are definitely different and there can be love without passion and passion without love.       

The controversy about absolute and conditional truth

The question of whether truth is absolute or conditional is controversial. In His era, Jesus Christ introduced a new concept, that of the Personification of the Truth. Within that context, Truth is Absolute as there is God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in the Trinity, as the three manifestations of the Divine found in the teachings of Christianity.

Speaking in terms of Christianity might be offensive some people. To those offended by Christianity, has anyone found a perfect solution to the human problem of barbarianism yet? Christianity teaches the love of God and one another and thus an end to barbarianism. Why be offended by something or someone who teaches peace? Does not the entire world seek peace?

So I return to the original question.

Is Truth Absolute? Yes, Truth is Absolute when one is referring to Jesus Christ, as the Personification of the Truth. 

Perhaps I might suggest that the entire concept of Truth can generate many different levels of understanding. On a higher plane of Divine thought, Truth encompasses both Absolute truth and Conditional truth. That is not so on a human level of understanding, but there is room for absolute truth and conditional truth and if humankind does err, then there is forgiveness.

Anyone can state from a human plane of existence that truth is conditional. In other words, what I see can differ from what you see. Since no two people see the same way, does that make truth conditional? In other words, it's state of being conditional may be based upon your perception, or my perception. What happens when two or more people see it as the same thing? Does that make it more or less conditional?

Taking it further, there is Absolute Truth that is Divine Truth and absolute truth that is human truth. There is Conditional Truth that is Divine Truth and conditional truth that is human truth. Is there a perfect answer? God's Truth would be perfect Truth, or Absolute Truth. Anything else would be less than perfect truth.

Consider all of these possibilities: Absolute Truth or absolute truth, Absolute Truth or conditional truth, Conditional Truth or absolute truth and Conditional Truth or conditional truth. There is also Absolute Truth as Divine Truth, Absolute Truth as human truth, Conditional Truth as Divine Truth and Conditional Truth as human truth.   

Perhaps the right question is not being asked from a human plane of existence. If or when I am able to come up with the right questions, I will likely know the answer too. In the meantime, I can rest assured that God's Truth would be Absolute, whether humankind sees it as Absolute, or not.

That raises the problem of human perception again. Those who are 'of God' should see the way that He sees. Those who are 'not of God' would see differently. Interestingly, the Bible suggests that God opens man's eyes to see and his ears to hear. What he sees then is truth. Those who do not have their eyes and ears opened are still wearing blinders and are deaf to the cries of others.

Perhaps we all might pray that God would open our eyes to see and our ears to hear regardless of whether or not we have an answer to the question of whether truth is absolute or conditional.

The bottom line is "God is Love." How we see and hear should be in terms of His Divine Love.

Dry Bones of Contention: The Critic or the Critique

Writers tend to be critical of critics. One must ask whether they should be criticizing the critique instead.

As readers, we wade through lengthy loads of literary luggage, with long lists of contents and dictionary definitions. Are these necessary in literature, one must ask?

We might suggest that combination lock numbers, used to unravel time in transit and old, worn out, doggy-bone arguments of indifference, are kind of like a literary plague at times, or at least it seems that way. We patiently read these too.

Then of course, there is the regressive, retentive element of history that keeps on popping up like huge cigars of wisdom that have been puffed to death. The ancient allegations with their decrepit denials and defenses argued relentlessly are ready to wrinkle Father Time's face further. We accept those quite willingly too.

How many times do we read dank and disgusting revelries, drab descriptions and look at fuzzy faces fading on the walls, as some kind of a flip-flop in reality's square? These are like ‘weighty, wordy weapons’ against ‘the reptiles that are replicating relentlessly’.

Much of what we read is more like eating pretzels without salt or playing slippery, slovenly scrabble, while we wade through contemporary, crisscross critiques about deep-fried dragons, full of fractured and fragmented fantasies.

Oh, the world of wild and wonderful words, but it can prove questionable at times.

Oh, I would the harshest critic be, if were to be one. Should we not criticize the critique, rather than the critic?

These all appear to be ‘dry bones of contention’.

On the other hand, does it not take a bit of courage to stand up as a critic, even knowing that as the critic you could wind up being the object of a critique instead?

At least to some degree, we all stand in our own element of understanding in terms of how we comprehend what we read. Even the critic has to stand somewhere. Part of what makes life interesting is the reality that there is such a complexity and diversity in what we do get to read.

Imagine for just one moment a world where there were no critics and no critiques. It might be great for a while, but it would not take long before boredom would set in. In itself, that might prove to be an even worse plague.

Reluctantly, we wrestle with critiques and critics, but we have to face it. Reality demands both. Should we be so critical of the critics? Maybe we are not critical enough. Who knows? Remember that even dry bones are good for flavoring soup!

Inquiry Into The Origin of the Tabula Rasa

A comparison of the blank page concept in the western and eastern realms of thought may lead to the conclusion that the tabula rasa originates with the word of God. Both the eastern and the western world have the concept of an open and free realm, or the blank page that intellectual discovery is destined to fill during the course of history.

In the western world, there is the concept of the tabula rasa, which originated in 1607. This is a hypothetical smooth or erased table. Essentially, it also refers to the mind prior to any receiving any kind of impressions at birth. The word tabula rasa also refers to that which is still in its original pristine state. (1)

This leads to several possible options. Either no one wrote on the blank tablet or the writing that was there, had to have been erased, at some point in time. This is important in the realm of intellectual discovery.

In the eastern world, the void depicts something similar, but in terms of total absence. It depicts utter darkness into which the light of enlightenment allows one to become aware of intellectual awareness.

With reference to the western world of thought, one cannot help but think of the tablet on which Moses wrote the Ten Commandments. It begins as a blank slate that became God's Word for the people of Israel, or the Law. Prior to that time in history, this kind of law did not exist in that kind of a format. 

The eastern void does not depict a written word of any kind in its actual void, but enlightenment comes from the divine and man appears to document it for humankind, over time.

In both instances, one can suggest that there is the emergence of transcribed words. 

In western world history, it is God's Word and His Divine presence documented while in the eastern world, words come through divine enlightenment.

The western world takes this further with the personification of the Word, when Jesus Christ appears on the horizon of history and claims His divine personification, as the Truth.

This kind of personification does not exist in the eastern world, although there are many historical figures during the course of history that appear to be recognized as having received some form of divine enlightenment.

The western world documents ongoing revelation by God's Holy Spirit, while the eastern world does not claim actual revelation from God. At no point in time is there only one name given to a distinct person in the eastern world, although there are many who receive some form of enlightenment accredited to the divine.

There are some other important realities to consider. It would appear that for the western world, Jesus Christ represents wisdom. In the eastern world, there are many different personalities depicted in terms of wisdom.

One might also suggest that there are pages filled by sages and may be more blank pages in both realms.

From a western perspective, one might argue that through Jesus Christ the act of salvation has wiped the slate clean once again for all believers. Thus, the slate returns to its original pristine state simply because of God's grace and forgiveness acknowledged in the religious thought of the western world.

This same kind of salvation is not present in the eastern realm of the void. Absence suggests that everything including forgiveness, is absent.

In the western world the three wise men led by the stars, realized their own ‘well-spring’ of knowledge from God. In the eastern world, the divine is the source of their knowledge.

One might ask what still awaits discovery in the western and eastern worlds. Maybe both realms still have room for more intellectual discovery and enlightenment. Perhaps one should also ask what really lies in the recesses of the deep in terms of the western realm of intellectual discovery and revelation, as well as what still lies undiscovered in the void of the eastern world?

There may be no perfect answer, but it would seem that the tabula rasa originates from the Word of God.

Science, Religion and Spirituality: An imaginary gap

Is there a gap between science, religion and spirituality or is it is imaginary? If there actually is, then that gap needs to be bridged in order for human comprehension to be a consistent whole. If not, then there may be an error in human thought.

One might argue that if any one of the three realms of science, religion and spirituality is true, then both of the others have to be false. This becomes problematic in that the whole is invariably fractured, fragmented and the distinct realms are in conflict with one another. 

Extrapolating the realms of science, religion and spirituality from the whole of life by creating gaps between them, and then having to bridge the gaps, would seem inappropriate when science, religion and spirituality are consistently part of the larger whole.

The process of extrapolation implies inferences, which is what takes place when human understanding or misunderstanding separates science, religion and spirituality. Inferences with respect to each realm appear to be discovered, inferred or implied. The discoveries are promoted, advertised or published in some way that magnifies or even exaggerates the differences in the individual realms.   

In reality, the comprehensive whole of life consists of all three components, science, religion and spirituality. Distinguishing or separating one from the other allows an evaluation of each on an individual basis, or in terms of their unique particulars. This can be good in many different ways, but there is still separation with fragmentation.

The real problem becomes how to project the new information about the individual realms accurately. Then, the task becomes one of relating the realms back to each other in such a way that they make sense, or putting them back together as the same whole. This is akin to taking something like a helicopter apart and then not being able to figure out how its parts fit together or how to re-assemble them.         

Values based upon proofs, estimation and calculation may prove to be bridges, but are not necessarily always going to be the kinds of bridges that science, religion or spirituality fathom.

Properties identified in the process of individual extrapolation may or may not become commonalities, based upon new discoveries realized in further analysis. In fact, on further discernment, many previous erroneous conclusions have lead to other assumptions, as well as the recognition that the initial discoveries led to erroneous conclusions.   

What is believable in faith, felt emotionally or touched upon by individuals or collective groups becomes unique to their own individual or collective religious or spiritual understanding of life itself. The question often becomes one of whether or not the new reality is believable or accepted by humankind, based upon scientific discovery. Is that the only criterion?

One might argue that there really is no gap between the realms. The inferred gaps of science, religion or spirituality are merely the ones man creates in the extrapolation process. The primary difficulty lies in the reality that the extrapolation process is one of separation, not unity. The more focus there is on separation and division, the greater the imaginary gap becomes.

Bridging the gap becomes as simple as seeing the realms of science, religion and spirituality as one comprehensive whole.
