How do you show that you're still a valuable asset to hiring managers and recruiters when you're old? I'm 67 and I got laid off almost a year ago... luck hasn't been on my side since. I have 25 years of experience in the operations area of healthcare and want to continue working, but I'm finding a lot of age discrimination. I need ideas on how to fight this...

Honestly, find organizations that value age diversity and actively combat ageism, and I've learned to just advocate for myself by addressing age-related assumptions directly... and confidently.
