Please wish me luck, or say a prayer for me! I am praying for all of us out there, particularly those of us in our mid-50s searching for a new role in which we can be happy, fulfilled and grow our careers (those of use not close to retirement)!
I am so tired of the rejection and tomorrow's interview seems like such a great position. I am trying hard to stay confident but it is not easy, since I have been rejected for so many roles.

An email with no advance notice will not win hearts and minds. It will blindside everyone you choose to include. I agree with the other poster to set up an in person meeting and tell you boss ahead of time that you’d like to discuss a salary adjustment based on your expanded role.
