6. It all depends

on :
your skills - are they in demand or are they the same as the rest of the world?
your energy level - can you last an entire day, or are looking for 1/2 day, etc?
your work habits - are you punctual, friendly, get along with fellow workers?
what you're looking for - desk work? retail sales? health industry?
how you present yourself - neat, up-to-date (whatever that means)

If you find some not interested, don't give up. There are those in the business/work world who realize that the older worker has much to offer - usually a good work ethic and work habits.

Let us know how it works out.
