Not coping very well any more.
Looking for real work but I can't count on my current job for any kind of reference or even a final paycheck. Who do I talk to when there are no jobs and no money? No one wants an old broken man.

Age discrimination is alive and well, thank you. Good luck.

I agree, with the problem of age discrimination. I'm 61 and am working as a temp, of course, I've been at this same place for over 2 years but they don't want to hire me permenately, then they would have to give me benefits. So at anytime without warning i could lose my job, so I feel for you. But don't give up, start looking now for something else. There are jobs out there and probably a few that respect experience.

I'm scanning Craig's List as we speak.

Aww Im sorry Angry. Dont say that about yourself. Its so unfair that you have to delve into your savings. Could you think about re training for a trade? I wish you lots of luck.

Thanks, Citrine. I still have internet access so I know there's some training I can get to if I'm quick enough.

If you're old you probably have a lot of experience. List your last fifteen years of experience only to avoid ageism.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
