Sales post unless you are from same industry of the new job.
If not it will be difficult to land yourself an interview.
Age and last drawn salary is what employers looking at before selection.
The current jobs market is very bad.

yes. Recruitor tend to set( lower) your salary expectations by saying employer can get younger people at cheaper cost , they are hungrier also blah blah .. hear liao also abit sian.
At least you're knighted. Lim Peh only demigod
sam and nayr69 touched on good point already. clear all debts if possible. live frugally.
while you're searching for a new job in the same field, be flexible and look at other possibilites. Apply to them at the same time and start drawing an income as you are looking for your "ideal" job.
The short term goal is not to go under since you've been thrown off the boat. Long term is to find another similar boat or better. Don't for the sake of appearances and arrogance insist on only same or similar job with similar benefits. Stay with your head above water first, then can take your time to pick which boat you want to sail in.
hope this helps and good luck.
Sir Richard is a knighted elite. How come can have rough patch?

Thanks Bro for your advice. I really appreciate fellow bros where who share constructive views and opinion!
Whether you have really hit rock bottom depends on 2 important factors:
1. How many people are there in your family and who are depending on you for financial support?
2. What is your current net worth and housing situation?

I had been in this situation before. If you want to bounce back successfully, the first thing to do is find another job. Choose your next employer wisely and accept a little pay cut.
There is still many short term contract and temporary jobs available out there (for senior management jobs)
Never ever allow yourself to go into long term unemployment.
The only person to turn around this situation is you. Your future lies in your hand

Agreed. We create our own destiny.
Look for another job, even if at a lower pay. If possible, start your own business or be a freelancer, even if temporary until you get a permanent job. If your net worth is enough, you can even do something that you like without worrying about employment/business income. 
Senior management positions are in demand now as foreign expats cannot come in due travel in their own country. One large company offered me 12k to join them as operations director but I turned them down

wow! 12k! So good!
Is it because your current pay is $13K?
