Job change in 50's, incidentally I didn't have a choice

I've gotten "Get Hired Now" by C.J. Hayden and Frank Traditi, "Guerilla Marketing for Job Hunters" by Jay Conrad Levinson and David E Perry; Dan Miller's "48 Days to the Work You Love" and Fisher and Vilas's Power Networking, along with Andrusia's and Haskins' Brand Yourself to help me. I didn't have much of a choice due to the company's division I was apart of 12, going on 13 years moving to Phoenix. I'd been with them off and on that long, most recently over 6 1/2 years here in San Diego and they're combining two divisions so as to be more of a "lean and competitive leader" in the banking and finance marketplace. I have no regrets, but it's not the best of world's out there in the mid 50's job and career market, especially if you're a man. I've got more energy, education, experience than some of these boomerettes, but it's not easy. I'd greatly appreciate any help with ideas,etc, especially networking wise in North San Diego, South Orange, and Southwest Riverside counties in Southern California.
