The elephant in the room of this newsletter on job hunting after 50 is that throughout writing it, I have been unsuccessful in getting anyone to hire me.
Bummer, will miss you here! I'll be sure to look for you on Medium, though. I know how tough it is growing an audience on Substack, and it's especially tough figuring out how to help older job seekers, as it's hard to find the answers to combat our society's ageism. Wishing you all the best!
Love your writing and passion, Adam. It takes a while to confront the reality of ageism and our "senior status," basically that no one wants an old guy hanging around the office, and I wasted considerable time and money before I came to terms with the fact. Maybe talk about "life after office work" when you've had a chance to reorient. Keep well.
