What are my chances of finding employment at 53?

Robert P asked:


After 20 years in the military and 6 years civilian employment I find myself having to look for a job again. It’s going on 3 months now and I have put in countless on-line resumes and haven’t even got 1 interview. I really need a job because I am sick and tired of sitting at home doing nothing every day. I am about to go stone crazy now. Is there some kind of outlet for veterans/retired military to go to in situations like this. I really need help here. I am worrying my butt off.
