Hi, I’m 50. I’ve been unemployed now for a while. There are so few opportunities at my level. I’m at a point where I need to expand my job search. I’ve been on the agency side my entire career and so far I haven’t had any luck with in house roles. Any advice on how to pivot out of the agency world?
