[quote=Anonymous]I was laid off at the end of September 2024. I started applying for jobs. I got a job offer to start mid-January 2024. I was laid off after two months. I applied for any and every job with my previous title. I did receive some "over qualified" comments. I start a new job April 15, with a pay increase of $10K and more than 40% pay increase from the job that laid me off in September. And, I am over the age of 50. Don't give up hope. For me, I've never transitioned in my career from an individual contributor role. It's really because I don't want to get a PMP certificate, and I think Agile is stupid unless you're software developers. I earned a doctorate in 2005. I take some short courses on LinkedIn. I attend and participate in conferences. I coach executives. I've done consulting work in my field. If you don't apply, you won't get the job. LinkedIn is so easy with "easy apply", what you have to lose? Same with Indeed. You might as well apply. [/quote]
