I have been looking for a job to supplement my retirement, and get back into the work force.
Why you ask? A number of reasons, the main one being that our government can't fix the economy, and all the prices keep rising, taking a large bite out of our scarce resources call pension.
So how is the job hunnting going?
Well, I am finding that most companies totally ignore you if there appears to be any age factor involved, and with 34 years experience and a master's degree that is the case with me.
I am amazed at how often companies and how many ways a company can find to discriminate against older people trying to re-enter the workforce.
You say ! what they can't discriminate? Well true, however, what is 100 % rejection rate where they tell you they decided to go in another direction, or that you were considered but thanks for applying?
Discrimination is taking place for older job seekers at an alarming rate, they now only look at your resume if you currently have a job? How is that not discrimination? Also, the only look at your resume if you have a current degree graduation date, and limited employment experience? How is that not discrimination?
Well, in business today, none of those examples that go on are called discrimination.
Today they call it slective marketing of new employees.
Something is Rotten in Denmark???
take care
