How can I help my dad?
My dad worked 25 years in a job. All my life I've only ever known him in that job. Unfortunately he was made heartbreakingly redundant after the management company on the building sold it to a off-shore company who have decided to cut staff. The job was Maintenance Manager for a building. he had beautifully looked after the building for 25 years. There was remarkably never a single injury at fault of the property for 25 years in a building with a footfall of thousands per year. The trees that are now outside and grown, were planted by him 25 years ago. He's now in his early 60s. He had planned to stay another few years and retire. It's been 10 months now and he's struggled to find work. He has had about 7 interviews but has failed each time. He truly believes they just think he's too old. It's heartbreaking to watch. He's not at the point of applying for any job he can find yet as he's still got money left from the redundancy pay. He still believes — and i believe — he can get a job just like what he had before. What can I do to help out? My mum is also very stressed too about the whole thing. I'd be grateful for any advice from people who have experienced similar in their life.
EDIT: WOW I'm blown away by all the kind and supportive words here. I've even had ppl DM me offering to help find work for him. I have shown my dad this morning the comments and it put a great big smile on his face. He's going to try applying for some of the positions mentioned below. Thanks everyone.
