Sample Email: What You’ll Receive

SUBJECT LINE:

I Sent 300 Applications. Got 2 Interviews. Zero Offers. Here’s What I’m Building Instead.

Hi [FirstName],

I’m 63 years old with 30+ years in digital marketing, fresh Google certifications, and a Bachelor’s degree I finished in 2023.

After 5 months of job applications—300 submissions, 2 interview requests, 0 offers—I finally understood: This isn’t about MY qualifications. It’s about systematic age and gender discrimination.

So I’m building an alternative.

Solo Sojourn is a mobile app connecting women over 50 with safe camping and workamping opportunities on Florida’s public lands. Places where we can contribute meaningfully (we WANT to work!), build community, and live with dignity when traditional employment fails us.

This Week’s Featured Park: Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park

Hit reply and tell me your story. I read every single response.

With solidarity,
Jolene MacFadden

What Subscribers Are Saying

“I thought I was the only one being rejected despite years of experience. Jolene’s newsletter helped me realize this is systemic, not personal. Now I’m exploring workamping instead of beating my head against the wall with job applications.”
