It would have helped if you had let us know what state you live in,but if you happen to live in Texas,go to the following web site:
Click on “Register as job seeker”
Fill in all your private info and your work history along with job preference and pay expected. The computer will generate job listings for you. Each employer will let you know how they want to be contacted;email,in person,fax,phone,etc..

The medical field is always looking for people, can you get government help in training to be a medical assistant or a lab tech?

Drive around and look. Where I live there are help wanted signs out all the time. Many companies have found it better to stick a sign outside than advertise and have every Tom, Dick and Harry apply. The true job seeker will see a sign and walk in and ask about what it is or what it require.

Finding a job once you get to a certain age can be difficult. You don’t mention anything about your educational background. That could make a difference. There is one profession where age doesn’t seem to matter. Driving a truck over the road pays well after the first year. As long as you have a good MVR and can pass a DOT physical, most carriers will give you a chance. In fact, those in your age group are very much in demand due to having a better work ethic. There are schools in many cities across the country and some carriers have their own training program. If you choose to go this route, I suggest paying for your own training rather than signing on with one of these carriers. If you go through their schools, you will usually be required to sign an employment contract where you will need to stay with them about a year after completion of the training or be liable for a large tuition fee. Those fees can be around $5,000. There are community colleges and vocational schools which help you to learn to drive a truck and will also assist in placement. This is one of the few professions which actively solicit older workers. The disadvantage is that you will be away from home much of the time, but you will be earning a good living. Once you gain some experience you may be able to find something local, if that is what you want.

you’re still young -ignore those employers that say you aren’t. think about all your skills, and then think about diff positions that they can be applied towards. and, once you target those job categories that you could qualify for, then choose the one you really like and work full-time on doing job board searcher on the net, and newspaper. but, if you find that you prefer other jobs, then it’s worth spending the time and going to perhaps a community college and getting a certificate (in the area you’re interested in). you can find certificate programs (in one semester or two) that can prep you for work. look at it, as an investment, look towards accomplishing your goal and next year you’ll have the job you like. lol

Sign up with the job placement services–and sign up with several not just one. After doing 6 months of interviewing and looking on my own, I finally went with them and started getting placed in jobs. One turned into a full time hire, so it does work.
While I didn’t have much luck with Manpower, the smaller ones and Adecco were very good.

You say you once owned a printing company and a construction company. So, you do have business and marketable networking skills. It seems to me that you like to be in charge and running things. However, while you are trying to get back on your feet, why not also venture out into a completely new type of business, travel. I don’t want to get into the details or provide a link here in the answer. However, I am sure that you know how to locate the link and how to contact me. The one thing that hurt your printing shop business (the internet) may be the same thing that makes you a success.
