I'm used to having people come to me for work, but haven't had to look for a job myself for a long time. Kicking in Palm Springs. Perhaps people found you through advertising or job-hunting Web sites. But before you start blindly answering ads or talking to people, do something else. Write a description of the ideal job for you at this point in your life.
Many folks enjoy the social aspect of a job.
Others have a particular interest. I had a retired client who loved tools. Pay wasn't a priority. But he loved helping people figure out what tools they needed and showing how to use them. After he got over the fact that he didn't need to be a big-shot executive anymore, he began interviewing and eventually took a job in Sears' hardware department.
