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?

Today is my 23rd birthday and I had very few people say happy birthday today. I was still in daily contact with my ex (I know a mistake) and he snapped me but did not send me happy birthday (we were together 3yrs ). So I finally blocked him on everything for the first time. (I should’ve done it a long time ago for other reasons) With the pandemic and everything else going on I’m feeling hopeless and alone. 😓 is there anything to be happy about right now?
