Been looking for a job now for 4.5 months. This is the first time in 24 years I’ve not had a job or two at a time. I’m getting interviews and that but I feel like since there are sooooo many looking for work right now employers are in the position to be so fussy about who they hire because they are getting 100’s of candidates if not 1000’s. With a lifetime of knowledge and experience I find it difficult to believe that I can’t get a position as a housekeeper.

The market's tough right now. You've got loads of experience though with 24 years down. That shows resilience and skills. Have you leveraged your network yet? I'm sure you've built that up through the years. See if there are any referrals anyone has for you. The right fit will come.

You might already be doing this but standing out from those 1,000’s of applicants is what’s needed theses days. I always tell people to go the extra mile. Go into these businesses and introduce yourself. Face to face is more memorable! I wish you luck!

You’re probably experiencing age discrimination. If you still have a youthful appearance, it might help to shave some years of experience off your resume. If you’re in your 50s …Talking up 24 years of experience only works if you’re being feted for C-suite roles. We know that’s not the case because you wouldn’t need to work if you were any good to begin with.

Looking for opinions. I’m an IW with 2 yrs experience working from home at a Fortune 500 company w/ excellent benefits, target salary 75k. I was previously offered a job at another company where the 75k salary was guaranteed for the first year. Most people make much more than this once their comp fully ramps up, but, I would have to work in the office. I declined the offer, but now the CEO wants to meet with me several months later. Would I be crazy if I asked for 100k guaranteed salary?

Advice needed on handing in notice, I recently signed an offer letter and understand the screening process takes 4-6 weeks. I have a month's notice period and have agreed a preliminary start date in Feb.
