I’m only 3 years younger than you. I also started with mainframes in the mid 90s, got into cloud a decade ago, spent the last 5+ years doing strategic + hands on consulting, etc at both AWS directly (ProServe) and now at third party companies.
Honestly both your post here and your LinkedIn page is just word salad and says “hire me because I’m old”. It’s really not a great sales pitch and doesn’t separate you from anyone else.
I’m not saying you don’t have outstanding skills. I’m saying your sales pitch isn’t great. You mentioned English is not your first language. I’m really interested how you would sell yourself in your native language, meaning it might be an ESL issue?
I’m not insulting your English proficiency at all - it’s perfectly understandable and grammatically correct.
