Though I don't expect someone in that age bracket to still be haunting for jobs but if there is conditions that warrant for it, there is no problem. You have highlighted what such a person needs to do to secure his dream job. But to be honest, if I am to advice someone in that she bracket, I will rather advise him to learn some skills and even engage in some profitable investment which will surely help him to make more money than working under someone because in that age bracket, strenuous works are not advisable.

There are always advantages in maintaining friendships with your peers through the years. Many of them are probably successful in their fields and may be able to help you reconnect and find new work. In some places, it's still who you know and not what you know. Nowadays, too, people in their 50s and older are finding work opportunities through government-sponsored job fairs. Who would have thought that a 70+ year-old male would find work as a call center agent in a business process outsourcing firm? Perhaps he had been convincing and genuinely talented in sales. He also had the confidence to try and compete with younger applicants. In general, it's your skills, talents, and persistence that will carry you through.​

When I was in my 40s and I was presently jobless, I received an email from a former boss. He was offering me a position in the bank. Although I was not well-versed with the small computers during that time, I did some learning in one day. When I went to the bank for an interview it was informal and the manager was like asking general things. In other words, I was already hired due to the recommendation of my former boss. It was good to have a connection because in our country workers who are past 40 have very slim chance of landing a job. To think that it was a job in a bank which is of a high position then I was really lucky that I was friends with my former boss. In fairness to me, I had the skills and in one month I was already settled with the job that I already knew what to do.
