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 did this when I was caring for my mother. She did not qualify for care through the state. However, she had a long term care policy that would pay for home care. I had to go through a home care agency and sign up as an employee. Then, they were able to hire me to be her caregiver.

   This one is fairly simple. You take all dates regarding your education off your resume. You NEVER list any graduation dates on any job application. You only list the last 15 years of employment. Your living circumstances should never be on your resume or discussed in a job interview, regardless of your age. You are looking for REMOTE work and that's it! Your skillsets should never list software that is no longer used. You are the most current of the current.

   Remove the dates and make your resume simply a skills resume without any evidence of how long you have been doing what you are doing. Good luck!

   Only keep the last 10-15 years of jobs and remove your graduation year from your education. That may help.

   Renting a mail box may help with the living circumstances. It keeps your home address private.

   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 prospective employer may vet her address to confirm where she is located. Any employer needs to know where its employees reside for tax purposes and other governmental requirements.

   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!
