Career Help and Advice

But a retired headhunter.

Yes, there's plenty of it. Seems like the only time they'll look at 60 range is if you are interviewing for a VP position, sorry to say. Otherwise, the ideal is the young up & comer, about 5 years out of college with at least a bachelors degree. Management positions, 10-15 years practical experience and degreed.

What they can't seem to understand is that those are the same people everybody else wants, and would pay people like me to go find. And they're always looking for the next step up in their career.

Have you thought about consulting? Experience matters more than age there.
