I was let go from my current job after 7 months of being criticized with everything I did. Nothing I did was right. I felt like they were pushing me out as I am 62. I've been applying for jobs and I am getting the first interviews but rarely any second interviews. My last interview they offered me the job then called me and said they were taking the offer back as the VP of accounting had some questions. If they were to offer the job again should I take it?

What would you do?

The market is tough right now so I would say definitely take the job if they offer you. Once you are in for few months you can reevaluate and resume search if needed. It’s easy to find a job when you have one versus when you are unemployed.

Take it

The fact that they offered you a job and then took it back is very sketchy... keep looking around.
