Pete Petersen, 58, reflects on his job search since being laid off from his corporate role in February 2024. With a long career in consumer healthcare, he believes his age and salary expectations are barriers to finding new employment. Despite having some financial cushion, he acknowledges that he cannot afford to retire yet, emphasizing the demands of job hunting during his later years and the changing dynamics of the job market for older workers.
I suspect my age and salary expectations may be hurting my chances of finding a job in the white-collar sector after being laid off.
Despite my savings and severance, I realize I can't retire yet; I need to continue working to secure my financial future.
