Hi Folks Most of my working life has been involved in doing admin/finance work. I am in my mid 50s now and thinking of making a change. Where do you think I should start in choosing a different career? Should I take a skills test or talk to a careers advisor or something else. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hello, is anyone out there in need of a little support for some life admin ? If so please give me a message - I have time to spare and years of experience.
Looking for something where I can help someone, whilst using my skillset. UK based but aren't we all online nowadays so worldwide :)

As it happened, I took early retirement a while ago and have been trying to reenter the workforce.
While I have emailed literally thousands of resumes and attend dozens of resumes, I have yet to have so much as a single interview.
Please advise. Thank you for your help. Richard

I hope in the future professions such as nursing social carers transport staff cleaners shop workers postal workers refuse collectors utility workers and any others that provide essential services will be seen as respected professions and not as just a job to go into if you are not an academic achiever.
Too often our young people are encouraged to go to university and leave unable to find work. Would it not be better to improve salaries and have the public appreciate that these roles are equally as important as any other in the smooth running of society.

At 60 years old, I still have a minimum of 6 years to work.
I am very unhappy in my current job and have applied for many other jobs with no success.
I believe that potential employers are not giving me a chance because of my age. I feel this is very short sighted of them as I can offer a great deal of experience and can be flexible as I no longer have to think of things like childcare.
Does anyone have any advice as to how or where I can find a job in administration where I will be judged on my capabilities and not my age?

Hi, this is my first post on here, I am 56 and looking for something new, I've worked in sales most of my career both retail and direct with most of those years in a management capacity. I am currently self employed in sales but feel the time has come for something new. Two ideas I have couldn't be further apart, horticulture and counselling. Any feedback on how to approach these or any other ideas would be most welcome, thanks.

I am 60 and looking to change my career completely. I have done it once before, shifting from motor industry to teaching, initially engineering but latterly English. I now want another change and am not sure what to do and I realise I need professional advice. The internet is all very well but I want to sit down in front of another human being and have a real discussion on the subject. Has anyone got any suggestions or recommendations? I would be grateful of your opinions and experiences.

Hi Folks I hope you're all well. A friend of mine who is just over 50 years of age lost his job last month. He was working in an accounts department as a credit controller. He has about 15 years' experience of the job and has always done office work, - administration & credit control. He is now very upset and doesn't know what to do next, and wondering if anyone would employ him at his age. He is now looking for other opportunities and needs to find a job/career that brings in a good wage which would cover his usually household bills and mortgage payments. He also has 2 young children attending secondary school. Can someone be kind enough to advice the best course of action to take and whether he should keep in the same field of work (accounts) or retrain for something else? Thank You.
