Thank you, I am not personally in need. I just share my experience from ten years ago when as a woman in her 50s having not built a career nor gotten a degree, I got a grand total of two interviews after scores of applications. Even though I had worked PT all my life and had excellent local references.
One interview resulted in an ardent job offer with much pursuit but it had 2-3 hour schedules at a time paying minimum wage. After commute it was virtually nothing, silly to accept it.
The other, the hire ng male wanted me but his butch lesbian cohort came in late, sat at the table for ten minutes, then got up and left. She had Kersey decided to hire someone else obviously. Male called me and profusely apologized, asked if I would apply for an alternate job that I did not feel qualified for. He was very nice. So. I interview very well.
When you are a woman in your fifties with no degree and no career built, you may get an entry level job depending on what they want. Many of those involve being in your feet all day (food service, Amazon, ups, retail). By the time we are in our fifties eight hours in your feet is way beyond doable.
For the office jobs they want the twenty year olds it seemed to me.
As I said earlier, 10 years ago the job market was horrible (for everyone). It’s euphoric for everyone now but especially women. I think you would find a very different experience today.
