I took early retirement from my academic job to go into business( not working), have reentered teaching as an adjunct(Sociology- I have a PhD) . I like teaching Sociology. Adjunct work- they pull the rug out from you for just about any reason - whether or not you perform well or not. I need to get into some other type of work But need job counseling , and I am broke . Any suggestions? I’m really struggling

That it was a great and fun place to work ! The atmosphere and all the employees were very helpful to each other . I worked in knife department for 5 years—- checking knives and packing. I. Also was the first person to build comptroller heads. That was a favorite job of mine ! From there I went to the foundry and was the first woman to work as wax technician! This was a really fun job required some heavy lifting so I retired after 20 years! I wish I was still there but at 80 years old, I doubt that they have any jobs for old ladies! It was the best job that I have had in my life-time !

For most of my career, I was a transportation specialist. The road took away from me more than it ever gave back in terms of my health. I never slept right ate right or got enough exercise. I developed type two diabetes and suffer from arthritis, however over the past several years I have made considerable strides and am considering entering the job market but so far have been unsuccessful. I am a self-starter, relatively intelligent, honest and dependable.

I am 58 ...and go with 3 strikes against me as I job hunt...i am not cute a female nor young enough

Hello!

I live in San Diego, CA and was laid off a month ago due to a restructure of the company. My question is I’m 50+ and although I neither look or act it, when I fill out applications and potential employers see my experience, I feel I’m being age discriminated against. I’ve primarily been in the same industry for about 20 years and I want to make a change to SaaS. It’s been a challenge being considered into these young companies. I’m vibrant and still have a lot of energy to give to an organization; not to mention I can sell just about anything. Any suggestions??

Thanks!
