That must be quite a shock after 21 years. Your loyalty to the company over the past 21 years gives you an edge that some candidates cannot bring to the table.

I am in your age bracket and got a job in a matter of weeks. Jobs are available but you have to do a lot more work to get an interview. Get as much feedback as you can about your resume and understand how to dress for an interview. Things have really changed. Find out as much as you can about salary too. I am not making a dime over what I made ten years ago. However, salaries are not as low as the news makes them out to be either. Good luck. Please let us know how you are doing.
