I have been let go from my previous position and am having a hard time getting another job. I am 60. Too young to retire, too old for the bs politics that goes on in corporate. Customer Service/Sales. Have applied to other types of jobs such as supermarkets, stock person positions in retail, etc, but they take one look at my resume and question why I want to work for them being I have had corporate positions for the past 20 years. Advice?

This is really worrying for experienced people

This sounds all to similar. I am exactly in the same situation. I am going to keep a positive outlook on things and see where it lands me. I just wish I could talk with an agency or recruiter of some type and just explain exactly what I want and don't want. Any agencies out there that you can actually call and talk with someone?

Best of luck with your search

How long has it been since your last job search? Networking goes a long way, and applying more doesn’t necessarily make your chances better. Very different getting a job now than even 5 or so years ago.

I check the job boards, and network through people I have worked with. I have been able to interview a bit, but nothing that seemed to stick, or they give me the schpeel that "we are going forward with another candidate...."

Haven’t texted VP much as I don’t want to be creeper but really interested. Not sure how to engage at this point. At some level it seemed like a home run.

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!
