Best Job Opportunities For Women Over 50 | TODAY

[foodloveryum]

Im 52 and I have been turned down 21 times for a job. the jobs that are available are horrible and they pay nothing!

[godoggo]

I totally disagree. I do not see the respect. People value influencers not people who do the real work.

[belssage]

Home Health offered me $9.50/HR...I have 24.5 years of medical experience with 6 licenses. The information you're peddling is ridiculous.

[Susan-evnn]

I'm a recruiter, this is so far from the truth. Resumes with no work history for 1+ years or more are never considered.

[Coloradonow]

I moved with my husband for HIS job. During that time my 4 boys have grown and moved on. It has been 8 years and I have been turned down over and over again with certifications in EMT, CNA and Phlebotomy from Community College that I went to just prior to moving and after I moved! I am 59 physically fit and of sound mind. I always had at least a 3.6 average in every course that I took. It is due to my age- there is NO doubt.

[Evyeve]

I just want a slow quiet life. My dad says, to just enjoy the rest of your life.

[heidiaguilar]

I worked in the medical field for over 21 years and got layed off and stolen from. Everything that is available was half of what I was making. Needless to say, I left the workforce all together.

[Fillagry]

This is I’ve been looking for months!

[eumebpj]

Not every woman wants to get into "domestic fields." I cringed when she said hospitality, education etc.

[susancraigo]

Go to college at 73? That is a waste of $$

[kenarthur]

She definitely oversimplified what a Scrum Master is. Much more demanding job than she understands.

[jimbarrofficial]

This video is the biggest piece of propaganda ever seen on YouTube. There is no job market for anyone over 40 anymore.

[celebrityfitstyle]

boo we want to see more actress and models over 50

[thevipgurlz]

So she is 75 and want to get back to work, but probably she should go to study first....she

[susancraigo]

We were thinking about Arizona, but the home prices have gone way up.

[smileyhappyradio]

But ladies, what if that mom thats 50, is a full on loser, with no personality, no social skills, is leaving a bad marriage, has no resume... I guess that mom can go work in a crappy job. This works for women with "personality." Community college won't help you if your a loser. Education does not get you a job, personality, good makeup, and appearance do.

[jenniferpolverari]

Most of the suggested jobs are very low paying and this whole conversation is borderline sexist. I avoid the term SAHM when interviewing. If I'm pressed about it repeatedly in an interview it's a red flag. (It can also be illegal for a potential employer to do this.) If someone asks immediately steer the convo. back to your experience and skills as it relates to a job.

[historyhongkong]

May I ask how can primary school substitute teacher make a career change at midlife crisis please?

[wolfpeter]

they make it sound so easy. Sure if you had a masters behind you and are a type a personality

[janelle]

Are you kidding me? Reconnect with you network? They are all older than I am. I have been looking for months and the jobs I am offered won't pay! Oh, and I live in West! This woman has a big mouth with nothing of substance coming out.
