I'm job searching in my 50s after a 17-year career break. I feel like I'm sending my résumé into a black hole.
Natalie Strawn is struggling to find a job at 52 after years of being a stay-at-home mom. The search has felt like a bunch of dead ends, she said.
Natalie Strawn, a 52-year-old mother of two from Colorado, has returned to the job market 17 years after quitting her position at Adobe in 2009. Strawn, who has been a stay-at-home mom since 2010, is now looking for work or self-employment opportunities, with a goal to secure a job by January when changes to Medicaid requirements take effect.
Strawn's husband, James, had been working at Adobe for 25 years and was recently laid off, leading to the need for Strawn's return to the workforce to help supplement their family income.
