Laid Off at 50
A 90-Day Plan to Land Your Next Job or Start Your Own Business

Who it’s for: Workers 45-60 blindsided by layoffs, facing ageism and modern hiring for the first time in years.

- Age bias is real. So are the 4 counters that get 50+ candidates interviews
- The week-one rule: file, breathe, then build the list — in that order
Written for the moment when: age bias; ATS black holes; identity shock; runway anxiety.
