I am currently unemployed and had to attend a required seminar. The woman giving the seminar barely spoke any English and people had to constantly ask her to clarify what she was saying. Job searching assistance is outdated - please do NOT tell me to look for jobs in a newspaper - seriously? I am over 60 and I was told I should try changing careers or get trained for a new job - no training assistance is provided (I work in the Food Industry) and any training would be an out-of-pocket expense. I am facing age discrimination as it is, and now I am supposed to spend time and money to be retrained. By the time I am retrained, I will be able to retire. Prior to working in the Food Industry, I worked in IT, and I was told I should apply for IT jobs. My IT skills are more than 15 years OUTDATED and I cannot compete with anyone that has current skills or is 30 years younger than I am.
