The resume review software many companies use to filter thru candidates really doesn't do it's job correctly. The last 3 years I worked with the Talent Acquisition team to look for candidates I would make them send me the resumes of what they had as "second tier" matches....I found that most of the people I was hiring came from that group. |

Damn, that's tough, Hydrae. Feels like that's the inevitable fate for a lot of us.
I have a few suggestions if you'd like to hear it. I know sometimes in these situations people just want love and sympathy, not necessarily advice. A lot of times we know what to do, we just need the emotional support to get it done. It can be hard to get things done when you're so stressed out and down. It can be difficult to get out of your own way when everything just feels like it will never go right. Life is a bitch, man. And the older i get the more i realize that it never lets up. It's constant. If it's not one thing it's another. And to work for as long as you have only to end up in this situation anyway...god i can only imagine the frustration, the depression, the anxiety....the anger.... |

Sorry to hear this man.
Like others have said....Social Security could be your answer. OR if you still have money in a retirement account like a 401k/403b/IRA/Roth IRA your old enough to start drawing on those. Age is 59.5 to avoid an extra 10% tax penalty to uncle Sam. You said your wife really enjoys her part time job? Anyway you could get a job at the same place with her? Resume is great and all but who do you know? Working for so long you must have build some friendships along the way. It's time, sit down and call them all up! It's who you know and one of those people could now be a manager somewhere.....OR know of one looking for someone. The trailer in the yard is an idea but if it was me I'd travel from a couple different State/County RV parks and volunteer. Most allow volunteers to hook up and stay for free. You would do things like sit at the check in center or after a person leave that site go make sure its ready for the next person. With your experience you could always try substitute teacher at a school/community college. I would really apply for SS like yesterday. You can still make a small income while drawing SS benefits and not screw anything up. |
