I am 78 years old, have problems with my back and hips, not be able to do heavy work

Q) I am 78 years old I worked at a golf course. I was laid off for the season. I have problems with my back and hips. Do l still go out and apply for work every week, because I may not be able to do heavy work now.

A) I understand that you are 78 years old and have back and hip problems. You were laid off from your job at a golf course for the season. You are wondering if you should still apply for work every week, even though you may not be able to do heavy work.

I think it is important to keep applying for work, even if you have physical limitations. There are many jobs that do not require heavy lifting or physical exertion. You can use your experience and skills to find a job that is a good fit for you.

Here are some tips for finding a job that is a good fit for you:

• Consider your skills and interests. What are you good at? What do you enjoy doing?
• Look for jobs that are in your field of experience. If you have a lot of experience in a particular field, you may be able to find a job that is a good fit for you.
• Be open to new opportunities. There may be jobs that you have never considered before that could be a good fit for you.
• Don’t give up. It may take some time to find the right job, but don’t give up. Keep applying for jobs and networking with people in your field.

I hope this helps. Good luck with your job search!
