[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]my experience  isn’t the right fit and they would rather have a cohesive team, train from the beginning, etc. [/b]

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]

This is just code for "you're too old" and is straight up age discrimination, but it would be hard to prove.

There's nothing wrong with teaching, but you can find something more relevant to your background. Keep looking.[/quote]

In this job market? You need to get a teaching job asap before all the laid off Feds and tech workers scoop them up. [/quote]
Restaurants are hiring. I just asked a friend who has a restaurant to hire a friend who is a teacher. My own restaurant is hiring and we cannot find workers. I retired at 46, but had to come back to help out. Same with a friend who gt a job at an embassy, but still is asked to go back to her restaurant to help out.
We need an assistant manager and 10 servers making $30-$50 an hour. Nobody is applying.[/quote]
