I am over fifty and just found a job. Matching your skills to a job that you are interested in is key. You may need to upgrade your training and skills, but there is work for older people. Also, if your type of industry has changed or if you have not looked for a job in some time, you should seek help from local reemployment agencies. If you have been laid off, they can help you set new goals and may offer training. Most jobs are listed on the internet so you will find yourself filling out applications online. Networking also works well if you are willing to tell everyone you know that you are looking for a particular type of job. Willingness to accept lower pay may be necessary, but health insurance is a huge benefit these days. Remember to sort out jobs by survival (the job that pays your bills until you find the one you want) and the real kind. Keeping a positive outlook is important, so make sure you stay around people who are positive and not complaining. The USAJOBS website is a good place to start, but your local community may also have joblists online.
