[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why doesn't he think he has gotten any offers after interviews?  Maybe he needs to do some practice interviews to see what is happening.  I knew that people say it's age discrimination but I have seen a lot of late career people who are more senior say some really dumb things in interviews.  Especially if they aren't used to the terrible overly structured interviews most companies are using now.[/quote]

This is worth considering. I work at a very diverse organization that serves a high need population. I was shocked in an interview when an older white male, who seemed otherwise qualified, made a very inappropriate comment about the people the organization serves. He didn’t seem to realize - but the staff on the panel interviewing sure did even though everyone was polite and didn’t comment.

Also, even if you’ve been out of the workforce 7 years, you should look for something that will at least help some. You shouldn’t sit there and do nothing while you use up your savings![/quote]
