I was burned out and had family issues that needed my attention.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall is-loaded\">\n<p>The problem: she didn\u2019t have a plan for what she was going to do next. \u201cI left thinking I was incredibly marketable with tons of experience,\u201d\u00a0<a class=\"icon none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/strachan-singh-venice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strachan-Singh<\/a>\u00a0says. \u201cI figured that as soon as I got the family stuff squared away, I would be back on the horse, back in the job market, and everyone would welcome me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That didn\u2019t happen. When Strachan-Singh tried to land another similar position in client or customer service, it \u201cwas a rude awakening,\u201d she says. \u201cI went back to what I knew and had done for most of my life, and nothing came through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At 50+, it was \u201ca growing up moment\u201d for her, she says. Like many job seekers in this age cohort, trying to replicate a previous job is tricky, and the rejection can be shattering. \u201cI thought I was such a star at what I did, and it would be a breeze to find another job, but it was a tremendous blow to my ego,\u201d Strachan-Singh says. \u201cMy self-esteem went down the tubes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She focused on exercising, yoga, walking her dog, and praying. \u201cAnd then COVID came, and there were people who were bigger stars than I thought I was who were losing their jobs,\u201d Strachan-Singh says.<\/p>\n<p>She couldn\u2019t shake the nagging feeling of \u201cwoe is me,\u201d she says. \u201cBut I realized that wasn\u2019t going to get me very far.\u201d She heard about a volunteer opportunity serving meals to children from a friend and signed up to help. \u201cThat has been my saving grace,\u201d she says. And on the career front, she began attending online alumni events and seminars offered by her alma mater,\u00a0<a class=\"icon none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alumni.baruch.cuny.edu\/?_ga=2.10764790.314175467.1612110232-33027198.1612110232\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baruch College<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe alumni sessions opened my eyes,\u201d she says. \u201cI realized there were a lot of people like me out there, a lot people trying to figure it out, a lot of people unemployed and frustrated, and it really helped. I just listened and realized that there is still hope for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, it\u2019s through that alumni outreach that Strachan-Singh connected with New York City-based career coach\u00a0<a class=\"icon none\" href=\"https:\/\/nancyancowitz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nancy Ancowitz<\/a>. \u201cIn many ways, working with her has been more therapeutic than career directional,\u201d Strachan-Singh says. \u201cIt\u2019s been lifechanging \u2014 like talking to a therapist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The biggest boost: Finding her focus. \u201cNancy has helped me narrow who I want to be when I grow up,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first assignments, for instance, was to develop her elevator pitch. \u201cI was looking at all of the things I know how to do,\u201d Strachan-Singh says. \u201cI can do this and that, but I couldn\u2019t find where I would really shine because there was too much I felt I could do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The vision gradually began to emerge. \u201cNancy helped me realize that I want to be a college professor,\u201d Strachan-Singh says.<\/p>\n<p>And she advised her to double back to her circle for more support. So she\u2019s picking up the phone and calling people. \u201cI had networked early in my job search, but I was embarrassed at the beginning to not be employed,\u201d she says. \u201cI felt ashamed like I failed somehow when no one was hiring me. You have to be in the situation to realize how awful it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One new mentor, for instance, is an acquaintance of her mother who has pushed her to look into ways to incorporate her business background with her degree in history as a pathway into teaching.<\/p>\n<p>To dip her toe into the education field, she has begun earning some income as a substitute teacher in the New York City public schools. \u201cIt\u2019s low hanging fruit, but I can make some money,\u201d Strachan-Sigh says. \u201cAnd there\u2019s flexibility, while I work on the next steps in my career, which include pursuing my dream to teach history on a college level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>More advice from career coach Ancowitz<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I reached out to Strachan-Singh\u2019s New York City-based career coach\u00a0Ancowitz for bonus advice on what workers over 50 need to do to get a job this year. Here are six of her tips.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be compassionate with yourself.<\/strong>\u00a0Looking for employment can feel demoralizing even when you\u2019re in your prime and during a strong job market. The rejection that is inherent in any job search can be hard at any age. We\u2019ve all heard that it can be a numbers game\u2014in other words, don\u2019t take rejection and radio silence (also known as ghosting), personally. Still, for those who haven\u2019t navigated the job market in a long time, it can be an especially cold shock.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take stock of the strengths, skills, and experience.<\/strong>\u00a0If you\u2019re not sure what they are, start searching for keywords in job postings that interest you. Those keywords reflect what hiring managers are looking for\u2014and what you need to include in your resume, LinkedIn profile, and other job-search related documents. One useful source if you could use help identifying your strengths is the\u00a0<a class=\"icon none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/cliftonstrengths\/en\/253676\/how-cliftonstrengths-works.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CliftonStrengths<\/a>\u00a0Assessment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consider a new direction.\u00a0<\/strong>If you\u2019re not sure what path would be right for you at this point, resources like the free\u00a0<a class=\"icon none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onetonline.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Occupational Information Network<\/a>\u00a0(O*NET) website can help you, especially during COVID, when in-person access to your local library may be limited. One of my favorite features that O*Net offers career-path explorers is its database of jobs. It also provides the educational requirements of a given profession, whether it\u2019s a growth field, if there\u2019s a \u201chot technology\u201d you\u2019ll need to know, and what a given job typically pays, by state.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Freshen your resume and LinkedIn profile.\u00a0<\/strong>Much has been written about computer applicant tracking systems (ATSs), which screen resumes based on the keywords they\u2019re looking for. Be sure your resume has the keywords you find in the responsibility and skill descriptions of the jobs you\u2019re interested in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Surround yourself with positive people.\u00a0<\/strong>That might mean reconnecting with some you\u2019ve lost touch with over the course of your career. That might also mean distancing yourself from those who reliably say all the wrong things, like going on about how much golf they now play during their early retirement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Network.\u00a0<\/strong>One of my favorite tools in the job-search tool kit for candidates is the\u00a0<a class=\"icon none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/its-still-possible-to-look-for-jobs-while-you-wait-out-covid-19-2020-05-21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">informational interview<\/a>, or \u201ccoffee chat,\u201d which can also be done virtually. Get to know people in the field or organizations you\u2019re interested in for information, advice, and introductions to possible opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Follow up on all leads and circle back to the person who introduced you to keep them posted on how things went. If you\u2019ve got years and possibly decades of experience, reach out to your former bosses and co-workers, fellow alumni, as well as colleagues you\u2019ve met at conferences, workshops, affinity groups, and professional organization gatherings. Think of who you know as well as who you could ask friends and colleagues to introduce you to.\u00a0<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Show gratitude to everyone who helps you in your job search. Many job seekers forget this step. A little thank-you note, or email can go a long way. Plant seeds to connect and show gratitude.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My Advice to You<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now for a parting tip from me:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get-up-and-go.\u00a0<\/strong>I can\u2019t resist adding to Ancowitz\u2019s final action step with my favorite mantra for job seekers:<\/p>\n<p><em>Networking\u00a0<\/em>is just one letter away from\u00a0<em>not\u00a0<\/em>working.<\/p>\n<p>Be daring and make that phone call, set up that Zoom chat, send that email. Research compellingly shows that more than half of all jobs come through a network, and I strongly believe that the percentage is even higher for workers over age 50.<\/p>\n<p>Connect with as many people from your network as feasible. Gather their insights and suggestions. Always ask them the most vital question: \u2018Who else should I talk to?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Breaks can crop up in unlikely places.<\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">By <span style=\"color: inherit; font-size: 1.25em; font-weight: 600;\">Kerry Hannon<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7939\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7939\" style=\"width: 214px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kerryhannon.com\/?attachment_id=7939\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7939\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7939\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/kerryhannon.com\/?attachment_id=7939\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryhannon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/006Hannon_web.jpg?fit=1071%2C1500&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1071,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D7000&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1568204077&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.004&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"006Hannon_web\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo by Elizabeth Dranitzke, Photopia&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryhannon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/006Hannon_web.jpg?fit=214%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryhannon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/006Hannon_web.jpg?fit=640%2C897&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-7939 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryhannon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/006Hannon_web.jpg?resize=214%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryhannon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/006Hannon_web.jpg?resize=214%2C300&amp;ssl=1 214w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryhannon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/006Hannon_web.jpg?resize=768%2C1076&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryhannon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/006Hannon_web.jpg?resize=731%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 731w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryhannon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/006Hannon_web.jpg?resize=600%2C840&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryhannon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/006Hannon_web.jpg?w=1071&amp;ssl=1 1071w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7939\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Elizabeth Dranitzke, Photopia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em><a class=\"icon none\" href=\"https:\/\/kerryhannon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kerry Hannon\u00a0<\/a>is a leading expert and strategist on work and jobs, entrepreneurship,\u00a0personal finance and retirement.
