Hi Colleen. First thank you for reading and replying to my story.
I'm sorry things have been so tough for you. I just hit the 3-month mark on the 6th of September so I'm not quite to your point yet.
When I got laid off they gave me an outsourcing coach that assured me that companies look for experience over age, but based on your story I'm not sure that's true.
I wrote an article recently after this addressing the benefits of hiring older people, but the overall concept is probably falling on deaf ears to companies hiring people.
Thank you for sharing your story and I hope things get better for you soon! 🙏
