I think you have to cast a wide net and network your butt off to get noticed. AI also affects if your resume even gets read or received. I'm 61 and have been in interviews where I can tell they want a newbie so they can have more control-tough place to be in, I know.

Hi everyone!
I currently work for Graybar Electric as a Project Specialist.
