I’ve been looking for two years. The job market is absolutely brutal right now, especially if you look like you might be over 40 on paper. But it’s no picnic for the youngsters either right now.
Best of luck to you.
“The job market is absolutely brutal right now, especially if you look like you might be over 40 on paper.”
And don’t double-space after periods between sentences. I’ve heard that that’s ones of the methods they use to identify older applicants. IDK if it’s true.
Are you looking in one particular area, or open to relocating?
INTERESTING THAT age 40 is referenced.
I BECAME SELF EMPLOYED AT AGE 40. NEVER LOOKED BACK.
Last client retired in 2022. HE was 84. I was 82.
I just offered to do neighbor’s bookkeeping for purchase/rehab project he is considering.
Especially brutal if you are 68 in a high salary band when budgets are being cut. I'm just going to retire.
Thank you! I’ve been constantly looking ever since starting my new job in 2019. I usually let recruiters come to me. I get 1-2 offers per year. I need to be more aggressive and not wait for recruiters to come knocking.
Good luck to you too!
