This is my first post and is long to provide background and context: I spent most of my marketing 'career' (24 1/2 years!) in one place - albeit that one place went through an acquisition, then there were mergers, divestitures, and more acquisitions. At the same time, my job responsibilities adapted - always in marketing. Some enhancements but no management growth. I was laid off along with 80+ others when the office shut down and moved to another state in 2018 (remote work was not an option then). Eight months later, I landed a new job at a small technology startup; 17 months later, they laid me off; 2 months later, I landed only to find myself 7 months later jobless again when the company discontinued the product I was working on. Now I'm six months into yet another job search. At 56, feeling defeated. I'm actively interviewing and have had rounds and rounds of interviews, presentations, and projects, only to get the very impersonal and generic "thanks but no thanks" email at the end. Rethinking everything now. I'm blessed and grateful to have good health, family, and home, so I'm not struggling that way, but I need to work, be appreciated and have a purpose. Most job postings out there seem to be for marketers with 5 years of experience (not 10/15/20), and the postings for leadership roles require management experience, which I don't have because I mismanaged my career early on. Non-profits require non-profit expertise, etc. I'm in an over-qualified but also under-qualified predicament. I keep up with technology, have additional marketing certifications, take different online classes, work with a great career coach, and honestly review previous "mistakes" to avoid repeating them. Yet it seems as if I won't fit in anywhere. Open to all advice! Thank you!
