Looking for work first time in 25 years
I'm 53 in good shape but have ha two back surgeries, one a spinal fusion from 25 years of throwing backs on and of planes for major airline. After 2nd surgery company doctor said I could no longer perform that job. I could transfer to other positions but loose all my seniority, pay. Like a new employee. I took a settlement and retired early. Now I have submitted impeccable resumes to every job I have experience in on the retail side. I've had a few close ones but didn't get the job. Does anyone my age have any suggestions at this stage in life with similar job hunting. Disability is out!
Hi Phillip, Welcome to Jobcase! Have you been following up on the applications you've submitted? This is a really helpful step that let's you get in contact with the hiring manager and make sure your applications were received.
I'm sure some other Jobcasers will have some good tips for you!
I saw a help waned ad at the Office Depot yesterday while buying copy paper. I spoke to the cashier and she told me their hiring for all positions management, sales, and service if your interested in retail. I think you made the right decision to retire from previous job. Getting back into the workforce for us seasoned workers is not easy but keep at it and don't give up. good luck
