elcostrin1's journey

I was laid off on December 31st, and it's been a tough 10 months since then. I've been applying for jobs almost every day, including weekends, but I still haven't found anything. As a 50-year-old Latino, I feel like the job market is particularly challenging for me right now. I've received some advice from others who have been in similar situations, suggesting that I might need to lower my salary expectations or consider taking a job that pays less just to get back into the workforce. Some people shared their own experiences of being laid off later in life and how it took them a long time to find new positions, often with pay cuts. It's frustrating, but I know I need to keep pushing forward and hopefully something will come up soon.
