Technical Hiring: Jobless and struggling

Logan Neal, Guiding you through depression, life struggles. answered:

I'm really sorry to hear about your struggles. Finding a new job at 59 can feel challenging, but there are strategies you can pursue to increase your chances of success. First, it’s important to leverage your experience by updating your resume to highlight your skills, accomplishments, and any relevant experience that would be valuable to potential employers. Tailor your resume for each job you apply for, focusing on transferable skills, especially if you're considering a career shift or transitioning into a different industry. Use LinkedIn to network and connect with others in your field, as many jobs are found through personal connections. Additionally, consider upskilling or learning new technologies that are in demand, like those related to digital marketing, data analysis, or project management, which can make you more marketable. Consider temporary or part-time roles, freelance work, or consulting opportunities that could help ease financial pressure and potentially lead to permanent positions. It might also be helpful to reach out to local career centers, workforce development programs, or staffing agencies that specialize in your area to find potential job leads or resources. Stay positive, persistent, and open to new possibilities—many people in your situation have successfully reinvented their careers later in life.
