Finding a job at my age is pretty tough.

I'm 56 later this year and trying to find a job at this age is no picnic. Coupled with a slight physical disability "the half a thumb problem" it's been challenging. There's got to be something I can do out there it's finding it that's the tough part.

Finding a decent job seems to be harder and harder...

Also, just submit applications and never ever hear back even if they declined you, like at least give people some answers and some guidance.

@Viper True but odd because companies claim they are so short staffed all the time.

@Viper That's what I don't understand. I took the time to fill out the application and submit to your little tests. I feel I'm at least owed a yes or a no. I don't like the silence. It's extra mind boggling when places say they need staff badly yet do this to those who apply. I suppose I can say bullet dodged.

@Cloud7593 I think companies are working short staff on purpose to save money, make the few do more work.

Or some can't find people they considered qualified... and there is some of error that where people can't find each other in this day and age.
