Job market just SUCKS in Cape Coral, FL

10/7/2012
I just moved here, bought & paid cash for a repo, really great deal but took all of my savings to buy a house so @ age 60 I won't have to be responsible for rent. I moved from a rural area in western Kentucky, but strangely enough I found that I moved from limited jobs to NO jobs! I have applied to numerous "seasonal positions" since it is now October but I have yet to receive any response. Strange thing is, the people I talk to regarding any prospective jobs are young, RUDE & insolent. Why do the companies hire these type of personalities knowing they represent their companies on a daily basis? These huge corporations should @ least know better, their stupid "personality tests" are definitely NOT doing them justice. I have a history of professional sales and have had a successful career for many years as a Realtor but apparently this is NOT a plus to any retail position in THIS area, I definitely know it's my age that is hindering me, but how the devil can I work around this?? Anyway, my advice is to steer clear of this area unless you are retired, even if you are retired but have to supplement your income then you best look for a city that will be more "senior-friendly" in job opportunities. I'm hoping I am a candidate for unemployment benefits, otherwise I'm seriously for the first time in my life very, very worried about my welfare, how will I even be able to eat???? Never would I have thought that my life would come to this @ age 60.
