[quote=Anonymous]I admire your spunk. You knew you had to get out for your own sanity, and you did. You can get another job -- but it might take some trial and error. And that's fine! Just be realistic that it might take some time to find the next good job for you.

My thoughts on the job search...

Get a job coach. A lot has changed in the job search in the past 22 years.

Resume formats are different now -- look into a skills-based resume format. If you have volunteer experience outside of your field, you might be able to work some of those skills into your resume. Also, make sure to use the key words from job descriptions in your resume to get past the applicant tracking systems.

Update your LinkedIn. Remove all the dates of your degrees and such so people can't guess your age.

Get a "whatever" job while you look (one you don't care about), just so you can get a feel for what's out there  -- look at temp agencies, part time jobs, substitute teaching, etc.

AI tools can speed up your resume updating and cover letter writing, but only as a first draft. You'll need to make sure that you're authentic voice is in both, not a generic-sounding voice.
