To get employment at any age you must have something to sell.
I applied for redundency when I was 54 and was refused point blank when some of my contempories got $100000 in redundency.
I hung around till 55 and then retired. ha! ha! they told me not to so I volunteered to work part time for two years then said that was enough. however I did a couple of stints on contract (making lots of dough).
Then they asked me to come back and run a project in Newcastle but I did not want to move and it was a little outside a comfortable commuting range so I said no. The project ended up with lots of problems because the people running it did not have the expertise or experience.

PS I am 77 now and still the "unofficial" maintence engineer for a plastics company. I just do the jobs that no one else can do these days and am a regular at the Xmas party.
