I'm 56 and struggling to find a job. I think employers can sense my desperation, but I wish they knew how capable I am.

After 22 months of searching, a 56-year-old woman shares her struggle to find a job, feeling that employers may sense her desperation rather than recognize her extensive experience and skills. Her story highlights the broader issue of ageism in the workplace, where older workers often face significant barriers despite their proven capabilities. This situation underscores the need for a more inclusive hiring process that values experience and adaptability over age, especially as the workforce continues to age.
