Hello I'm 60 yrs old. I have 16 yrs as a medical assistant. I still had a 17 yr old to finish school. I was so close to retireing. Pay was $17.00 per hour. I never was late or call in unless an emergency or sick. I was picked on by the manager she had called HR on me cause she wanted to know why I wasn't smiling,I was accused of bulking, suspended without pay,stripped from my medical assistant duties an moved in another area with a different doctor. I was lied on by the staff in the other area. Every week I was across the hall with HR an the union. I even took 2 months of FMLA came back still across the hall with HR an the union.My union rep he didn't care about me am my job.He just sat there an didn't even try to help me. I was fired May 1st an just started getting unemployment in September. I had forgotten fight for it cause they didn't want to give it to me. I really don't even want to work any more Cause this person set out to destroy me an did financially.

Looking for a cashier job. Able to work any shift. Happy go lucky senior needs work. Thank you

What I loved about my last job. Is that I got to help the elderly everyday. These were the men and women that had fought for us . To hear there stories and and understand what they went through was a great experience

Have been retired since 2012, didn't plan properly. Find myself bored, decided to return to workforce.

I was wondering how hard it is to find a job at age 61

Lost my job after 25 years as Plant Manager, struggling to find something now being I do not have a degree. Cannot seem to even get a door opened without Degree, and when appling to something to start the carrer over I am told I am over qualified. Would go back to school but I am in my mid 50's and by he time I got done I would be close to retirement, also I need something now to pay the bills.

Sure something will come, just hoping sooner then later!!!!

I've worked for the same company for 24 years. I'm a loyal, faithful employee...but the eliminated my job. It's a great company. They've kept me on, but it just doesn't feel the same anymore. Not making what I used to. So now, at 61, I'm looking for an additional part time job to supplement my income.

What organizations actively try to recruit older workers ?
