applications today take patience. there process has been muddled up by defensible hiring practices and endless background checks.
the websites like indeed and zip recruiter are very hard to navigate.
don’t ever let AI do your resume
and don’t limit yourself to your interests. branch out think out of the box take entry level positions to interview and gain new insight into the process.
there are employers out there who love extended experience. I am 55 and I got employed by a skill that I learned decades ago.
keep trying they need us in the workforce.
Try being self employed for 25 years and then trying to get a job lol at 57 it’s harder than running the business…. Good luck to all us old timers who have work ethic etc
Old timer in the eyes of employers I can tell ya that much ……
🤞🍀
May the odds be ever in your favor.
I’ll be in the same boat fairly soon.
Ageism is potentially creeping in. I am just a bit younger than you and have naturally silver hair. I did temporary colored gel to cover the grey when I had a recent interview, and had removed dates on my resume. , Got the offer.
I'm wearing my gray like a badge of honor
Keep pushing brother you can drive shuttle buses for the railroad
I’m sorry to hear you’re still having to work despite retiring. What sort of jobs are you going for, still teaching positions? Maybe you could be a substitute if you didn’t want to go back to full time?
How does your resume look? I’d be willing to take a look at it.
Good morning. My mother retired in 2006 after teaching 2nd grade for 40 years. After a year she became very bored. She decided to tutor. Also, go ahead and submit your resume to become a substitute teacher or teacher assistant. TRUST ME these children desperately NEED your EXPERTISE! I PROMISE YOU!
Patience is what we are working with these days, especially for those of us who are older job seekers.
Apply for everything that parallels with your experience, add all duties you completed in your last job, and be honest about why you are stepping back into the job market.
By the way-have you tried, or are you interest in, driving for Uber? From what I've seen it's a quick process to start up and it'll generate 'some' income during your other search. Good luck.
I am thinking about it as well.
