Question:Help to have confidence to find a new job

I have worked in the restaurant industry for 40 years. Most recentally a bartender. I am 57 and unemployed for the first time in 11 years. I feel my age is caling for a change. Help?

Answer:

Well, what do you like to do? What could you see yourself doing for the forseeable future? I can't believe you lasted in the restaurant industry for so long! Good on you! Since you're good with people, maybe you could work for a non-profit? Or have you thought about teaching? I think it really depends on what you like to do! So what do you like to do?
