This is so hard. I just did the same for my father after he exited for similar reasons and needs to go back into workforce in part for his own sanity and in part he needs the money. It's scary how hard it was for him to land a job because of age and perceived as inept and out of touch

Did he land a job? How long did it take? Mind if I DM you?

Sure thing. He did in the end but it was no where anything senior as to what he had at the peak of his career, which is ok because he didn't want the stress just casual job with steady income

Hello everyone. I have applied for a junior Java developer position, and tomorrow is my interview. Can anyone let me know what topics are asked in the interview?
