I have been out of work for 1 year now.

I have been out of work for 1 year now. This is after leveraging my skills successfully into another field. My first field was in advertising sales which I loved but since covid have not been able to secure a position in that industry. I truly believe its is because I am in my upper 40's. I read books, networked and clawed my way into the nonprofit space (Development) but due to budget cuts my most recent position was eliminated. I am finding that while my skills are very transferable, I cant seem to land another position either in the for profit or nonprofit sector. In my most recent interview I was told I was over qualified. I have over 15 years experience and my strengths are: New Business Development, Marketing Strategy, Sales and Customer Relationship Management. I have reached out to linked in connections, head hunters, applied to job listings, etc... I just don't know what else to do. In my last position, a colleague asked: Where do all the women go? She was specifically asking about those in Advertising of a certain age, and I joked at that time... "well you are looking at one". It makes me sick that after a certain age (not even 50 yet) that it is incredibly difficult to land a job. I personally have gotten my RE Lic , actively worked in that area as well, but it was not to my liking. I know from experience that it is were a lot of Sales professionals land (especially from Adv Industry) find themselves. My question is if you don't want to start your own business , which is the answer for a lot of women, where can you go if you still want to work and feel valued?
