If you’re over 55 and pounding the pavement these days, it’s not pretty.  I have several friends who fit this description. They’re frustrated, furious and frankly dumbfounded by their inability to land a job that suits their experience and desired salary.  They’re picking up part-time consulting jobs to keep afloat, zapping resumes into the black hole of online resumé bins, waiting for a response, and pulling their hair out.
