You have to get out of medical to find another chance sm - I did it

Posted: Mar 19th, 2019 - 4:47 pm In Reply to: Oh, I have been - MT Dinosaur

The hospitals and doctors offices will not hire older people, they don't want to pay anything anyway. You have to expand beyond the medical sector and you have to make sure your interviewing skills are good, meaning you need to be very positive, turn their questions about how you've only done medical work or only been at home all these years into positives that show you are eager to get out of the house and eager to do something else. Make sure you are up to speed on computer programs used in offices and assure the interviewer that anything you need to learn you will pick up quickly.
