Any older creatives out there have advice for getting back in to the industry? I’ve had a couple of years working in non creative roles.

- @Cathy at The Dots hi Cathy thanks for your response. It’s going to be trickier for me as I’ve been away from a creative role since the end of 2018. I left a steady job to freelance! Wasn’t the greatest move looking back but hey. Since then I’ve had a little freelance work but mostly spent time in retail as was struggling to find a creative role. It’s going to be even harder still as I turned 60 last Sunday! But I don’t feel it and I’m certainly not ready to think about retiring. I’ve read all the usual sites about employment for ‘seniors’ hate that word! Anything else you can suggest? A direct approach to companies in my sector?ThanksKevin
