[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably only getting rehabilitative alimony because of credentials and 15 years marriage. This is why I would not ever give up my job.  You will need to start at the bottom again.  Good luck OP.[/quote]

I would appreciate advice about starting at the bottom. I have tried and I am getting the feedback (indirectly, not from the hiring managers because pretty sure that would be illegal) that my experience  isn’t the right fit and they would rather have a cohesive team, train from the beginning, etc.

Is there an industry or specific fields that are open to experienced hires basically starting from scratch? The only suggestions I’ve received so far are substitute teaching and working towards certification, and at this point it seems like it may be my only option.[/quote]

?? what?? you think you are not better than a kid fresh out of college? I'd hire you above them easily. They aren't your competition nor should they be. Don't sell yourself short. [/quote]

Yes a kid fresh out college will be better than a genxer who hasn’t worked since the premier  of Hamilton. [/quote]
