Letters

To the one who lost a job at 52

You did the job well for years. Then one morning there was a meeting, a short letter and a box for your things. Since then you have sent applications into silence and started to wonder whether anyone still needs what you know.

They do. Someone nearby needs a shelf put up properly, a stack of paperwork sorted out, a child's maths explained by someone patient. Your experience didn't expire on the day the letter came. On SkillNav nobody asks for your CV, and the assistant never looks at your age when it suggests people. They see what you can do – and after the first job, how well you did it.

Start small. One job, one “thank you”, one good rating. That's how a first chance begins again. Have a skill? Offer it. Need a hand with something? Someone nearby is glad to help.
