[quote=Anonymous]Here's a positive story: I just got a new job at age 58 and only went on one interview! I'm a female in the communications field who had been at my company for a long time. Financially, things weren't doing great, with several years of flat pay and eliminated retirement match, but I didn't think I'd be laid off. But given my "advanced age," from a millennial doing the hiring perspective at any rate, I decided to look around because I thought it would take a long time to find something, or I never would. I applied to a total of eight jobs starting in August, including three at AARP that I felt I was a really good match for. Got two rejection emails, never heard from the others (including AARP) and interviewed at the one I was eventually hired for. I combed through a lot of listings on LinkedIn, Indeed and some sites in my field. Hoping the advice on here is helpful for your dad, and he finds something soon.[/quote]
