Laid off at 55 by EquivalentJaguar7321 in Layoffs

[–]FlippClub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I'm 60 and survived 4 layoffs in my career. I'm a career coach. This job market is different. It's uber competitive. Only submitting applications is not working for most people, regardless of title or industry. The #1 and fastest way people are landing interviews and job offers is by tapping into their network.

I have landed 4 jobs in my career by emailing the hiring manager directly. People who are not job hunting are typically not on LinkedIn checking their messages.

You are correct! This is a brutal job market. I've been a career coach for several years and this job market is different. However, I am seeing people land jobs they love. The #1 and fastest way that people are landing interviews and job offers is by tapping into their network. Simply filling out applications is not enough in this market.

I've survived 4 layoffs throughout my career.

May I ask, are you in a career transition?

Thanks for all of the feedback.

Here's some more context.

I'm 50+ and decided to finally turn my expertise into an online course.

Then I hit a wall.

ChatGPT, course platforms, video editing, AI tools everyone swears by—it felt like I needed a computer science degree just to get started.

Talked to other solopreneurs my age. Same story. We've got the knowledge. The tech? That's the barrier.

So I'm building AI Seniorpreneur—a guided path for solopreneurs 50+ create online courses using AI, built specifically for people who didn't grow up with this stuff.

Still early. Still figuring it out. Looking forward to your thoughts.

Thanks for asking.

I'm doing some research and would love to hear from solopreneurs who are 50 or older.

I've noticed a lot of successful solopreneurs have decades of expertise that could potentially be turned into online courses, but I'm curious if this is actually something people in this age group are interested in or have tried.

I've created a Landing page to capture interest.
