In 2023!! Still unemployed. Unfortunately, I’m over 50 so not really a desirable hire to companies. Despite my experience. Corporations don’t seem to value experience anymore. Im too old. I gave up looking a while ago. Although, I can’t stay unemployed forever. I’m a tech writer with a really extensive technical background before I started doing tech writing.
