Having worked doing admin for a business, I’ve now lost my job (due to Covid) and it’s highly unlikely to continue again. I gave up my career in investment banking many years ago, to raise my kids (primary age). I’ve gone for 5 interviews over past 5 months and always don’t succeed (usually get to last 2 candidates but that doesn’t get me the job!) I’m going for the well paid, part-time jobs, that are like gold dust and it’s so frustrating. I’m 43, I want to feel valued and like what I do. I want to retrain but I have no idea what. I want something well paid, but I have no loves, or passions, nothing that seems a natural move. I like processes and people, that’s about it. I’ve lost so much confidence now and I know it will be even harder to find work.
Have other people successfully retrained at this age and what have you done? I feel so lost :-(
