I was laid off at the age of 56 and it took me a whole year to find a new job, during which I faced a significant 60% pay cut. It felt incredibly frustrating as I kept thinking that nobody was giving me a chance. I often wondered if my age played a role in my job search struggles. However, I realized that many others, regardless of age, were experiencing similar difficulties in finding employment. The job market is incredibly competitive right now, with countless people vying for the same positions. Even though I eventually landed a job, it was a stark reminder of how tough the current landscape is for job seekers, especially those who have been out of work for a while.
