Thank heavens they didn't test me for job readiness 35 years ago -- I
would have flunked cold. I had a pretty bad attitude, didn't get on well with co-workers, had mediocre performance skills...By the time I retired, I was a highly vallued employee of my company, holding down a one-woman position of great prestige and responsibility.
