[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't get any first-round interviews (after a few a few months ago), between jobs, it's been about 6 months, [b]late 40s[/b]. What would you do? I've not had this experience before; good resume, I'm told. This is more about the bad job market we're in, am I right? Are other people experiencing this too? Feeling defeated and want to work smartly on where I put my energy. Any tips/insights (especially from HR professionals) appreciated. Thanks. [/quote]

You're in your late 40s, and you did not have a good network, it is almost impossible to get a job.  You will be looking at long term unemployment.  I turned 60 last month, and I got a 200K/yr paying job last month after being layoff with 10 months severance.  The only reason I got the job is because the hiring manager knew me two jobs ago.  It comes down to connections and networking.  My 48 year-old neighbor got layoff from Bloomberg in July 2023 and he is still looking for work.  I know you don't want to hear but it is the sad truth.[/quote]
