[USER=26221]@Cinnamon2005[/USER] When I was on unemployment after my position was eliminated at my last job, a requirement was to take a class, so I chose the one that talked about seeking employment over 40. Most of the information discussed can be found on the internet, but it was interesting and helpful to hear other people's stories about their frustrations with looking for work. One tip that I had already done was to remove my year of school graduation on my resume. I also eliminated my first couple of jobs since I had been at my last employer for over thirty years. As for that job, I listed my job areas and start dates - but started from when I officially became full-time, which dropped another ten years off my resume.


I'm not sure any of that helped me get the job at Target, but it didn't hurt, lol. Also helps that I look younger than my actual age, and have a youthful personality, relatively speaking. :p


The thing that will help the most, though, is just to keep trying. I've had other family members hit rough patches and feel like they would never find work, but they just kept at it and eventually the opportunities came along. Best of luck to you!
