You can get fired from your job but you will never get fired from your gift. As long as you have your gift, you will ALWAYS have work. Keep Ya Head up Julie
Jobs can be taken away, but education, experience, and skills cannot.Twice in my life, I have been let go from my job with no warning - and I'm only 24, not 60. The company might have let me go, but my education, experience, and skills will always be there. Dave is right that Julie has a valuable asset - the ability to sell. It is very hard to hide underperformance in the sales world. I should know, being that i lost two jobs in 7 months for not hitting my numbers fast enough. Julie lasted 20 years. That obviously means something, and I'm willing to bet that she might be able to get a hiring manager to overlook her lack of a degree by highlighting her experience. Also as a side note, if you are in this situation, do not let all the Joe Six Packs of the world get on their high horses and make you feel guilty about receiving unemployment. You paid into it and you EARNED it.
Joe Ochoa she calls back 5 months later with an update. She lands a job doing the same thing, takes a $5k pay cut to prove herself (she does and does it well), so she's "only" making $65k, and she ends up making a lot more than she did at her old job she was at for over 20 years. This is exactly what DR was trying to tell her and she LISTENED. It was very inspiring.
The Dave Ramsey Show I was layoff after 21 years as a Police Officer, but it was the best thing that every happen in my life! I was afraid at first, but now I own my own businesses and I don't have any debt. I just start watching this show last week, and now I can't stop watching it, I tell my family members and friends about this show. I just wish I knew about this show when I got layoff.
I needed to hear this, thank you Dave. I'm meeting with HR today and I am expecting to be fired. It got me worried to the point that I have been searching for sales jobs (the exact kind of work I wanted to get into since I graduated college) and sending my resume out to all of my contacts. I will prevail and someone will hire me! Thank you again sir!
+The Dave Ramsey Show I don't know if you all get the contact info of the people who call in to the show but I think it would be awesome if you could check back in with Julie (on the air) in a few months and see how it turned out.
With 20 years experience in sales and the last salesperson to be let go by her company, she should have no problem walking into any place and landing a sales position. If she can sell medical products, she should have no problem selling herself.
+Athrough Z From what I can see she just felt bad about being let go, but more so she's afraid of change. She just settled in too much in her comfort zone for 20 years but once she gets over that the sky's the limit.
Athrough Z yep! I've been working in the same job field for over 10 years. I told this to lady who manages another company at this party Xmas of 2016 that has the same position and she looked and me and said, "10 years? You can get hired anywhere you want." I was in doubt but she insisted and said, "You have the best product on Earth for people in this field: YOU. You have experience. You know the job in and out. If you were to apply to any job offering that similar/same position, you'll out interview everyone else."
You can tell she didn't save much during those 20 yrs. A person of her age and income should have at least have a good 100k to 200k in non-retirement assets MINIMUM, whether cash or hard assets excluding cars and house.
Thank you Dave.... I'm just recently turned 21 and got fired just this Friday and I was soooo scared and was crying all day... and didn't have the confidence to tell mine parents or anyone about it .... so I just been staying in the employment department looking for a new job "pretending" to be at work .... I'm so scared but I hope there be something that shows up ...
Needed this. I was recently told I would be laid off after being told my retention and research methods were in the direction they were going. Heck, I had saved and made the company so much money. It felt like I was sucker punched. Later, I found out they termed those with the biggest income, or using their benefits the most. I was hot but then took it as a blessing. My talents are to serve in greater ways. God has my family and I covered and I’m open and thankful for the prosperity and adventures to come.
Thank You Dave. I really needed to hear that. Very encouraging. We are all more than we give ourselves credit for. I am changing my hat. I will no longer be afraid to Succeed, and live up to my full potential. ; )
wow Dave...you're uplifting me for my 57 year old hubby's next career that he's kinda worried about getting...I need to make him listen to this...he's not a lackluster spoiled kid on cell phone all day he may be a lil slower than he was in his 30's but...wow Dave. GB
Wow. I am afraid too. I have 23 years on retail sales. And I feel the same way as Julie. But Dave is a great motivator. Thanks for encouraging Julie. The best of luck to Julie.
She's been a salesperson for over twenty years and now doubting herself? I see so many sales positions here in Tennessee that don't require a college degree but want years of experience. Maybe she needs to move to another area or state if she can.
This is an awesome attitude. Wow. Possibly Dave's best call I've heard. If Dave did this kind of advice for the majority of his calls instead of mutual fund advice, I actually think he'd sell more product and the show would improve. Very impressed and this is God's work.
This helped..just yesterday corporate came to my store and let us all know they were closing the store in a month. I've worked there 4 years and I too doubt myself I have no college degree either, I love love loved my job. I loved going there everyday and I don't know what to do. 🙈
Oh Julie, stop with the self pity. A.) You're 60 years old, making a good salary. You should have more than enough saved up until you find your next gig. B.) You have 20 years experience in your field, which is always looking for people like you. You have what majority of others don't have. Get out of your comfort zone, stop sulking and go get a job! Good luck!
Thomas B there is an update on DR's show. 5 months later she calls back. She lands a very similar job, takes a small pay cut just to prove herself (which she does) and ends up making more once she proved herself. It was quite inspiring.
Thomas B I don't but if you search around on TH-cam I'm sure you'll find it. What DR says is exactly on point. No company keeps anyone after such a long time if they didn't see your worth. That's just common sense.
Yes...Dave. experience should be all that they need. I have about 15+ years in finance. But employer only looking for a degree. I am in my 40s...but understand what Julie was going thru.
Dave you are so right on....this woman has the opportunity to get a BETTER job for herself. I am so glad mandatory retirement has been rescinded in Canada for people 65 and over. People who want to continue working can and companies are all the better for it!
I'm a high school graduate with 12 years sales experience at the same place. I had to leave due to health issues, but I absolutely kicked butt the last 4 years I was there. Left on good terms. Doubting myself heavily although I was a great performer. My health is perfect now. If you were hiring would this be attractive to you (ignore the doubting part)?
That's why I plan on running my own business. You are good at your job they will do something to you or fire you to prevent your from retiring. I'm about done with the games. I'm investing 159 a month in to my self for taekwondo training. Get my second black belt this year. I plan on being a master. I got the next 25 years planned.
I love you Dave Ramsey.. You are so Inspirational.. You make me do better financially... I don't t agree with you politically.. But I love everything else you talk about..
I've always been able to get a job as long as I can get facetime with the hiring manager / decision maker. What I ended up doing though, to make it even easier, was getting back into driving a truck. I'm not even on the market right now and companies are throwing offers at me. My boss was scared (I work for a relatively large, family owned business.) so they increased the pay by about $5 per hour, in the last couple of years. Next year will probably be another healthy bump in pay.
The hard part here is why would they hire someone older for $100k when someone right out of college would do it for $30k. Yes, there are skills to be learned but most businesses want you to sell their way and not yours. Its teachable. I worked for a bank after having prior sales knowledge. The bank basically told me to unlearn all of that and do what they do. So basically it didnt transition at all. Its a tough out there for sales.
Unfortunately jobs here won't hire older people or people without a education, they are requirements for even getting yr application looked at. Jobs here are ridiculous they only want young people who have connections so they can pay the lowest wages
It’s such a weird paradox, older people are worried that they aren’t eligible in the job market because they don’t have degrees. Whilst young people are worried they will be looked over because they only have degrees but have zero experience. How bizarre.
She can sell anything don’t go to a job and take pay per hour start a business and keep 100%. Quit settling for an hourly wage. She needs to change her mindset she’s to emotional.
Yeah Dave isn't good at motivation cause he's such a brown-nosing WIMP SIMP BETA-MALE. If this was a man, momma's boy Dave would say suck it buttercup and work ten jobs.
Thank You Dave. I really needed to hear that. Very encouraging. We are all more than we give ourselves credit for. I am changing my hat. I will no longer be afraid to Succeed, and live up to my full potential. ; )

Well said love it 😊
Fired!
I wish only the best for Julie. I know what she's worried about, age discrimination.
Me too , I am almost 60 , in sales management and got laid off today ... ouch
Mark Goodrich don't let it set you back. Your next gig will be better.
Joe Ochoa she calls back 5 months later with an update. She lands a job doing the same thing, takes a $5k pay cut to prove herself (she does and does it well), so she's "only" making $65k, and she ends up making a lot more than she did at her old job she was at for over 20 years. This is exactly what DR was trying to tell her and she LISTENED. It was very inspiring.
Or pave your own way. I gave up depending on others for my income and yes it was scary at first, but it made me a much stronger person in many ways.
Mark Goodrich did you find a job?
love the way dave handled this call. got me motivated and it's not even my situation lol.
jason shuler I was thinking the same thing! Dave truly has a gift.
Ms. Julie don't doubt yourself. Stay positive. My coworker was 60 when he came to my organization. He's 71 & is still there.
That’s old

Congrats! What kind of business is it?
I got let go today as a corrections officer, im not even upset cuz i hated it
I needed to hear this, thank you Dave. I'm meeting with HR today and I am expecting to be fired. It got me worried to the point that I have been searching for sales jobs (the exact kind of work I wanted to get into since I graduated college) and sending my resume out to all of my contacts.

Ryan Terrebonne So how did it all turn out?
@@denisenoles3159 did he get fired?
Many people may have college degrees but most do not have EXPERIENCE. She has experience that people will not see for many many years to come
Thanks for keeping it positive Dave! 😊
+SingingBeeize Thanks for watching!

Athrough Z and if she were to sell medical products, OOOOOO---she's going to make moneyyy. That's such a lucrative field to sell in.
***** I question that statement. If someone can sell they can sell. Age, race, gender, etc will never matter.
My prayers are with you Julie.
You can tell she didn't save much during those 20 yrs. A person of her age and income should have at least have a good 100k to 200k in non-retirement assets MINIMUM, whether cash or hard assets excluding cars and house.
Wow. I have a job, but Dave just pumped me up to do better! Love how he lifted this caller.
The Tended Garden know your worth! Don't give people discounts.
Thank you Dave!! For promoting another human being so much out of compassion and care and truly recognizing her true talents
Wow Dave, you know how to motivate!! 👍 love it, love it, love it 😍
+Judith Janssen Thanks for watching!
I work in a law firm without any certifications, we get the same pay as a certificate candidate. Its all about experience!
I really enjoyed this. Great encouragement. I'll think about this when I face my own setbacks, and I hope Julie's done well!
Your response was amazing Dave!
Thank you Dave.... I'm just recently turned 21 and got fired just this Friday and I was soooo scared and was crying all day... and didn't have the confidence to tell mine parents or anyone about it .... so I just been staying in the employment department looking for a new job "pretending" to be at work ....

you strut in there and TAKE THAT JOB! (guitar riff solo) man i love this show

Go Julie!!! Even the best IT product needs to be SOLD to someone!!!
Maria Friend exactly. Personable skills is very marketable.
God bless you, Dave.
Wow. I am afraid too. I have 23 years on retail sales. And I feel the same way as Julie. But Dave is a great motivator. Thanks for encouraging Julie. The best of luck to Julie.
Julie,
I don’t know you, but I sincerely hope things worked out ma’am. You got this.💪
She's been a salesperson for over twenty years and now doubting herself? I see so many sales positions here in Tennessee that don't require a college degree but want years of experience. Maybe she needs to move to another area or state if she can.
As soon one who just left the job market, experience is GOLD. there is a reason you put your experience before your education on your resume.
This is an awesome attitude. Wow. Possibly Dave's best call I've heard. If Dave did this kind of advice for the majority of his calls instead of mutual fund advice, I actually think he'd sell more product and the show would improve. Very impressed and this is God's work.
I am from India, same feeling me to, just Julie felt. Thank you . Mr. Dave for your encouragement.
These people require COLLEGE DEGREES? That pisses me off honestly.
Dave is awesome!!! Such an encourager!!!
This helped..just yesterday corporate came to my store and let us all know they were closing the store in a month. I've worked there 4 years and I too doubt myself I have no college degree either, I love love loved my job. I loved going there everyday and I don't know what to do. 🙈
Getting up out of the mud to see better. I love it. You go girl!
Oh Julie, stop with the self pity. A.) You're 60 years old, making a good salary. You should have more than enough saved up until you find your next gig. B.) You have 20 years experience in your field, which is always looking for people like you. You have what majority of others don't have.
Get out of your comfort zone, stop sulking and go get a job! Good luck!
This was a great call. I would love to know an update about how Julie is doing!

You are AWESOME Dave Thank you Lord for Sending us Dave Ramsey..
You go get 'em Julie.. put those millenials in their place.
So needed to hear this kick in the rear. Thank you Dave!
Yes...Dave. experience should be all that they need. I have about 15+ years in finance. But employer only looking for a degree.
I am in my 40s...but understand what Julie was going thru.

Dave is the man. Great person.
This just blessed my socks off. Go Julie and thanks Dave.
im currently worring id lose my job later...im praying ....but hey after i wached this ....positivity is absorbed but my brain

She has to go in PERSON and Talk to the person in charge.
I love you Dave Ramsey.. You are so Inspirational.. You make me do better financially... I don't t agree with you politically.. But I love everything else you talk about..
We have so much to learn from the older generation not just the new god bless her
Apply on line then go in person; that's how I've always gotten jobs
She's not listening.
You're good at Sales....job options are unlimited
I hope she’s doing well!
Julie get a headhunter / recruiter. They work hard to get you what your are worth. They are like an agent who speaks on your behalf.
"Buckle Up Buttercup!"
I've always been able to get a job as long as I can get facetime with the hiring manager / decision maker. What I ended up doing though, to make it even easier, was getting back into driving a truck.

LOL. Dave goes straight for the jugular!
This was super motivating....
I was about to say she should start selling herself! But she finally said it!
My dad is in a similar situation right now but he does not have a high school degree and he has been let go from a different job.
If he don't have a degree son. is gameover.
This 31 yr old female Cincinnatian loves this!
Unfortunately jobs here won't hire older people or people without a education, they are requirements for even getting yr application looked at. Jobs here are ridiculous they only want young people who have connections so they can pay the lowest wages
If you can sell you will never be unemployed.
It’s such a weird paradox, older people are worried that they aren’t eligible in the job market because they don’t have degrees. Whilst young people are worried they will be looked over because they only have degrees but have zero experience. How bizarre.
Wish we could get an update on this
Any updates from Julie?
Brain controlled = no job + too old! Life compass = experience + planning + skills + presentation = money!
So amazing... 👍🏾😊
72K for a top sales position is pennies. Become a real estate agent!
harrasing a business sounds like a good way to get fired
Dang!!! Am about to head out and sell something after that speech.😂
just cause you have so many years experience doesn't mean you're good at what to do
experience > college degree, she should be able to land something quickly
Dave u should hire her
I’d love to know how Julie is now.
She only has one job?!?! Most of us immigrants have two or three jobs.
She can sell anything don’t go to a job and take pay per hour start a business and keep 100%.
Quit settling for an hourly wage.
She needs to change her mindset she’s to emotional.
60 is still young.
Donald j Trump is going to bring pain TO AMERICA !!!
It sounds so awkward and forced when Dave yells. Maybe it’s how he always folds his arms when he does so makes it looks really odd.
Rockstar Dave
My highly qualified beautiful dynamic knowledge person but still I loose job for all this best reason why is it so ?
by 60 make sure u have enough savings to gat an annuity ....
They sell your job you sell to your old employer it would be a walk in the park after 20 years!!
Work for 2 months for free ?really
Did Julie get that 100k USD job?
No job is ever safe like TH-cam.
♥️♥️
4:48 This is when the video turned into garbage.
Yeah Dave isn't good at motivation cause he's such a brown-nosing WIMP SIMP BETA-MALE. If this was a man, momma's boy Dave would say suck it buttercup and work ten jobs.
If she's such a good seller then why is she sneak sniveling and moaning about losing her job. It's a freaking job get up and move on.
is it me or does this guy sound like Jim ross?
how many can i put ya down for? a lot? please say a lot
I want to become a good sales men I would love to be tought by her she need to teach sales
325 likes.. 0 dislikes. wow haha
Just put you went to college, they never check.
Aww
Thank You Dave. I really needed to hear that. Very encouraging. We are all more than we give ourselves credit for. I am changing my hat. I will no longer be afraid to Succeed, and live up to my full potential. ; )
