I have over 15 years of experience in bookkeeping/accounting, however I was laid off from my job over over a year ago and have not been able to land anything worthwhile. Due to my loyalty to my employer, I never felt the need to learn Qkbooks, Excel or any other comp. skill. Now, the few good paying jobs and even the not so good require these skills. I took a beg. course in Qkbks. but was not satisfied with the end results. I enrolled twice to take beg. Excel, but both times the class was canceled due to lack of enrollment. I can't afford to go to college to take a full course. So, what do I do. Am I not getting hired due to my age (56), or because I lack these skills although I have 15 years experience in accounting. Can someone give me an answer to help me solve my problem.

Try your local community college and look for the continuing education courses. They are usually 8 weeks (1 or 2 times a week) or less.

Actually, the perception makes it seem more difficult, taking a little course is easier than the paper and pencil accounting. Do something with a local community college. etc. It is easier than what you have been doing !
