Welcome to everyone who just joined.
If you're here, you're probably over 40 and fighting the same fight I am. Sending out resumes that disappear into the void. Getting ghosted by recruiters. Watching younger people get hired for jobs you're overqualified for. Wondering if you're unemployable or if the entire system just broke while you weren't looking. You're not imagining it. The job market is brutal right now. Especially for us. I'm 57. I've been freelancing for over 20 years. I have a degree. I use AI tools every day. I'm faster and better at my work than I've ever been. And I still can't get hired. Not because I'm not good enough. Because companies don't want to invest in people like us anymore. We're too expensive. Too experienced. Too likely to know our worth and not accept garbage wages. This group exists because we're all dealing with the same thing. And most of us are doing it alone. Scrolling LinkedIn at 2am wondering what we're doing wrong. Applying to jobs we're overqualified for and still not getting callbacks. Trying to figure out how to rebuild a career in a market that decided we're disposable. You're not alone. That's why we're here. Drop a comment and introduce yourself. Where are you? What kind of work are you looking for? What's your biggest struggle right now? Let's actually talk about this. Let's help each other. Let's stop pretending this is normal and start figuring out how to survive it together. Welcome. I'm glad you're here.

@Melissa Gill Hi Melissa, I've published many print books in the past but now with the emphasis on eBooks I moving to creating PDF eBooks and I've written a book about it. To introduce the book I've created a free preview edition of it. If you're interested there is a free, no catch, download available at https://billbenitez.gumroad.com/l/freepdfguide . If I can ever be of help, my email is billbenitez@gmail.com .

I'm a book publisher. Since 2007 I've published my books, my wife Barbara's books and nearly a hundred for other authors. Now I'm creating PDF eBooks.
