Trying to find a new job can be challenging for anyone, but it’s even harder if you’re over 50. The unemployment rate for older workers is lower than it is for younger people, but even still – once out of a job, older workers experience greater difficulty finding a new position.

Whether you’ve been fired or laid off, losing your job is never ideal. Whatever the reason you were let go may be, this kind of change in your career can leave you feeling drained, both emotionally and financially. If you plan on trying to find a new job elsewhere, and want to do so in a timely manner, it is important to be strategic about your next steps.
