I frequently encounter a "fear of success" phenomenon with my older learners. I teach at a private trade school and the program I teach can place almost 90% of our graduates. We offer assistance with resumes and placement.
With older students I have noticed some resistance to the idea of a resume and a job interview. They come from a time when a "handshake" was enough. With encouragement they will head-down this new world job seeking road, but many are hesitant and procrastinate to the point where they may miss some great job opportunities.
Any ideas to help these students overcome their fears?
