I am over 65, and my financial situation is such that I have to look for work to be able to pay for my medication and other needs.

I have not been able to find remote work, which I need in order to be available to help my husband, who is disabled. I would appreciate any suggestions of how to write my resume so that neither my age, nor my living circumstances will hurt my chances of employment.

If you haven’t already, I would encourage you to register for a free account on LinkedIn and check out the Platinum Talent Community, which is sponsored by AARP.

The moderators, Linden Kidd and William Craig III, are very approachable and supportive. They can offer resources and suggestions re: resume, job search, etc.

Happy Holidays and many blessings to you and yours in 2025 and beyond!

Go to arise.com and become an IBO. You just need to create a LLC with the state. After that you choose a contract and your own hours then work from home after taking a class. Some are earn as you learn. Also look at LiveOps, Omni, and Join Rat Race Rebellion on FB and get their daily work from homes job postings. It’s not that hard and these are simple ways to get in the door, but if you don’t want to worry with the resume, then just create your own business. There is also working solutions which is a great company for scheduling yourself and working from home. I used these myself and have been able to fill many gaps in employment when I was a stay at home mom. Rat Race Rebellion will assist with what’s out there. I love getting help provided here for your resume ~ how kind. At this stage you just want to keep it simple and seems like just earn extra from home. This will get you there without a lot of hassle.

A few comments on the terrible job market and how overly critical the hiring side is on this right now:

Dealing with call outs

I’m curious if others experience noisy co workers even management asking why you called out. And what do you say? I’m personally starting to find it annoying. Does anyone else find it annoying and what do you say?
