Maybe in your neck of the woods, but not here in Silicon Valley. The business boom going on right now is as big as any I’ve experienced here.
I got laid off a month ago at age 65 from a high tech firm. Landed a new job in three weeks and am enjoying this week off before starting. Nothing like a good work ethic, a great track record, up-to-date skills, and a healthy network of colleagues to make one attractive to employers.

Exactly. This is critical either for Silicon Valley (where I am too) but facets of this apply to other geo areas too.
I’ve been working primarily in the startup realm, and it’s been a kick. But, keeping your skill set up to date and having that Linkedin network going is key.
