Comments Off on Overqualified. Underqualified. Unemployable.
by Bushwhack Admin
I was laid off at 43 and learned how quickly experience can become a liability.
After years in marketing, I found myself labeled overqualified, underqualified, and eventually unemployable. Rather than shrinking to fit a system built on templates, I chose to build something of my own.
What followed was reinvention—learning new skills, adapting to constant change, and redefining success on my own terms. The journey wasn’t linear, but it was transformative.
This work is rooted in one belief: experience doesn’t expire, and neither does your ability to evolve.
If the system won’t hire you, maybe you were never meant to fit inside it. Laid off at 43, dismissed by the system, and called unemployable. So I quit waiting. I built my own career—and discovered freedom lives outside their boxes. Connect with me and I can share my journey and the steps taken to get to where I am today – living and working on my own terms.
Available for speaking, consulting, and conversations about reinvention, relevance, and building work that lasts.
