there was some way I could help you. Is your #1 priority finding a job relatively close to home? Did you ever explore the job possibilities at the YMCAs in your area? The Ys in my area are almost always hiring. The pay isn’t great but it can be a nice atmosphere to work in and would likely be a good launch pad to other non-manufacturing jobs. I’m guessing that, since you’re in your fifties, you want to get out of manufacturing/production work and into something less physically demanding? I understand that you hate change but you might need to take one job to make it easier to find another better job. Employers prefer to hire people who have jobs and you wouldn’t have to explain why you currently aren’t working. Maybe a part-time job wouldn’t be a bad situation to job hunt from.
If you don’t feel like talking about it, I understand. I’m just trying to help and I don’t want it to get to a point where you’re desperate enough to consider jobs in your “I would hate it” catagory.
