Good for you. I too am in my 50s and last year I lost my pt job. Learning how to navigate this new job searching world was key to finding a new pt job. There are places that put up signs still like Grocery stores or retail which is what I did for work. Im glad it worked out for you. As for that other poster. Haters gonna hate. You said nothing wrong.

For the past 25 years I had 2 jobs. One main job 8 hrs a day working 2-10:30 and a morning PT job for extra money. A year ago my PT job went out of business in July. I was 57 years old and not sure if that would work against me. I learned pretty quickly that sites like monster and indeed were fairly useless to me. The one thing they were good for was giving leads to where the jobs were. I would then go to that company’s hiring website and a lot of the time the job on the big job sites would not be on the company site. I got my daughter to fix my resume and started sending it out into the world along with watching videos by Erin and other u tubers to get advice on how to navigate this job searching world. Like she says in this video. I used to just find a job in the paper and go apply in person. Most of the time you got an on the spot interview. So this was all new to me. I guess I was either lucky or all the advice paid off. It only took me 4 months to find a replacement morning PT job. It pays more than my last pt job and is stable. Applying directly to the companies website and practicing Erins interview tips got me this job. I fully believe without updating myself with utube videos on how to interact with todays hiring climate I would never have found or been able to land this job
