(3,544 posts)I have a few questions.
I too and in the same boat. I am currently dipping into the savings account to survive. It's coming up on 2 years for me. 60 and unemployed = bad combination. My last interview, a few months ago, one person actually asked me what year I graduated from high school? WOW!!! After I wsa turned down for the job, I notified HR of what happened. They were shocked. So age discrimination is out there. This type of questioning has been presented to me on several interviews. One actually ended the interview after the first question. He saw how old I was and ended it. I was shocked in awe, trying to figure out what I had done wrong.
These questions are for anyone out there in the 55-65 age group that has found a full time job after being layed off for a long period.
What tool did you use to find said job? Indeed? A friend? Networking?
Was your new job in the same field your career was?
Does the new job offer you insurance, being full time?
If so, were you on the ACA?
