The sobering news from one who has experienced it ... 500 job applications in five years - and NOTHING... The professional job I have now happened by total luck and odd circumstance...
Pay cut? — the situation can evolve to where just having any income becomes the goal... believe me I know...
I can only add a very sobering statement born from personal experience — if you are over age 50 and have lost your job - You may never have a professional job again... Yes - that is what I said... the situation we face today is that serious...
That is true! My friends and I are age 50 and a little older and we are having a very difficult time finding something that will at least pay the utilities and house payments.
