In reply to the discussion: I was told my Job position was terminated today [View all]Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)40. I am so sorry to hear this. I hope you find something. It is possible.
You don't say what you did at Rite Aid. But if you have a good job history and experience at doing something, a skill or something, you may well get hired.
I got re-hired at 58. Made less money, but I still got a job quickly. So don't lose hope.
Look energetic and healthy....that's the main thing. Don't fit the mold of what people think of as old.
Let us know what happens.

You're not required to give notice when you quit a job. I'm very sorry about your job.

I bet if we had universal health care there would be less age discrimination - if any.
