For the past two years, I have been looking for a part-time job, paying more than minimum wage (I have one of those now). I have had no luck at all and have chased after many potential jobs. For those where the prospective employer is accepting of all age applicants, the job candidates often number in the hundreds, and I am competing with people who are several decades younger.
It gets wearisome to hear of the ease with which people could find a job if they were really looking. I have been looking and have failed to find anything comparable to what I have now. I could write an article about what I have learned of the job market and how the reality differs from the general perception.
If anyone has any tips, direct knowledge, or insight that would help me to find a suitable job, please PM me privately. I will appreciate the help.
Please don't flame me. I'm just an old guy trying to find a job to earn money to pay his wife's medical bills that Medicare and private insurance does not cover.
