Despite my skills and education and talents. The only jobs I ever get or get offered it low wage minimum wage work. I am fed up with it. Tired of it. They all seem to be looking for personality archetypes over anything else here in the Puget Sound area. Like are you an extrovert or do you fit someone who has a high emotinal intelligence.

Frustrating in life. People say they love your art and or skills, but won't hire you.
I have been asked by some of you whether it is more difficult nailing down a job after turning 50, and my answer to you is generally "yes". That said, we can make it easier on ourselves by being open to utilizing our years of experience and the skills we have developed in a wider and more broad spectrum. Experience can be a plus, but stagnation is a drawback. Be open to using your talents in various ways within the scope of various possible industries. "Break out of your box".
What is the most effective way to market my skills in today's job market when everything is "online"?

I find it extremely fulfilling when I work with others and children. It helps me learn to understand and know other people better. I try to have an open mind and I'm ready to give and receive constructive criticism. I will admit that I only have experience in dealing with children but I am open to learning skills from jobs that require more from me.
Learning, is THE door that is required for higher paying jobs?
My whole life I had worked in restaurants as a server, bartender, etc. I realized I was beginning to get burned out with the late hours/long shifts and wanted to begin exploring new employment options. I wanted a job that didn’t rely solely on the generosity of others to pay my bills each month. The only problem was I felt like I was stuck in the food service industry.
The job I was applying for asked for 3 – 4 years office experience dealing with customers, the ability to prioritize efficiently and be driven to complete tasks with little guidance. I knew I could manage these successfully though I didn’t have any traditional office experience.
So, I made a list of what I considered “transferable skills” that I had inherited from my past that could be beneficial to me in other roles and used them to play to my strengths.
Strong Work Ethic Great Customer Service Skills Successful at Multitasking Team-Oriented Diverse Communication Skills
I was able to make it to the interview process where I discussed these transferable skills and how they will make me an asset to the team despite where I gained the experience.
I’m proud to say that I am officially the Office Receptionist at said company and I couldn’t be more excited!
If you’re looking into making a career shift and are hesitant to do so because of your “lack of experience,” make a list! Once you see all your great skills laid out, it will be so much easier to form your own experience story that you can use to fit the requirements of the position. If I can do it, you can do it!!
What would your list look like?
It was the best experience I had. It gave me the skills I needed to succeed in my career. I loved it
