Suggestion...
For those of us on here who have been out of work for a while and may even feel that we aren't getting hired possibly due to our age and maybe even length of time out of the "workforce", if you have any that offer services in your city or town , I would suggest that you get involved in gig economy work. Do things like Uber, lyft, Task rabbit, Instacart, Handy, etc.. there are so many "Gig economy" apps out there, you are bound to find one or more that you'd love to do. I do 7 of them and make a real nice living. But I've also been applying to full time jobs. I'm 43 years old and even though I feel younger than that and I'm a very hard worker and I can work circles around any of these young people nowadays, I don't get hired. I have great job experiences and excellent references, but I don't get hired. I do however get a lot of emails from employers who are interested in me saying that they are impressed my work experience. I'm sure there are those of you that are already doing things like uber or lyft to make a little extra money, but if you can do and manage more, it may show employers that you're serious about working. Maybe even do some volunteering. Help others and help your heart at the same time and you can add that to your resumé. :)

Thanks but there’s a lot of jobs out there for some people at that age. You can find some places that will be able to hire you plus you have the experience and know how if you just go apply some more places and give up.
This is a great suggestion . I 'm 58 yrs old and unemployed at the present moment.. But reading this has inspired me to believe that I'm still hireable and that I have alot to offer. Thank you for your suggestion it has inspire me. Good luck with your job search..
Try temp services or going through staffing agencies. Those are usually the ones to hire a lot of people without going through an interview process. Just have to pass the drug and background check tests.
Good suggestions. I would never look at 43 as being old. You have plenty to offer the right company that wants an experienced individual with what appears to be a good work ethic. Are you getting to interview stage and then not getting the job? If so you may want to practice interview skills.
Thank you ,Terry I do not own a car to but I am still looking for a job to support my life style but I have a lot for retail skills in food fast and also did a lot for volunteering helping the Elderly take care for them self like grooming and prepared meals because I believe that I am going to get a bless from the Lord.
