I'm currently unemployed since July because my position was eliminated and I exhausted my unemployment benefits in February and living off my savings. They let us know two months ahead of time and gave us severance pay.
Truthfully I really liked my job even though it was very physical and I was saddened by the decision. This wasn't the first time this happened to me and both employers I was at for almost 15 years.
I'm 61 and the job market is not old people friendly. I'm applying and not being very successful. There are filters and AI being used to filter out perfectly qualified people which adds to the confusion.
There's also a lot of ghost jobs out there and to any other people looking for work be careful because there are a lot of scams out there too

That’s a difficult position to be in. Try using your life experience and look for consulting work. I wish you the best of luck!
