It's not your age. Your working with people young and older. You have to chose discretionary. Jobs, workplaces .

No age discrimination, everyone over 45 is in the same boat. This is the easier than having to decipher how works in cyberspace.

Working for others and working for yourself is different, entirely different...ask yourself what is your mindet is tuned for in these many years and... go by what it is saying....be an employer rather being an employee even after 50+  more

When I retired from the government, I went to a temporary agency. They sent me to a credit union. The manager in the department that was hiring... was older and she wanted someone older. I was 64 years young and she said younger generations will not work like a seasoned worker. I been there for 10 years. Put the Lord in front of you and if it's His will, thy will be done. He will place you where He want you to be. There is age discrimination in the work force. more

I can't help you. I am 58 and was offered 4 jobs since I started looking last November. Plus a job in November that didn't work out for other... reasons. I've never experienced ageism only heard about age discrimination from what I've read more

I wish I knew. I am 59 and was just told I was overqualified for a position that 1) asked for someone with experience and 2) wanted someone they could... mold and mentor. more

I see a lot of posts about age discrimination and I believe that to be true. I have known quite a few people very qualified in their professions and... after 70 could not find a job. People can say what they want, maybe half of these are not 60 so they have no clue. I know when they see 20 years of employment obviously that’s an indicator of age because I apply and get turned down as soon as I submit a resume and I had my resume professionally done with AI  more

Without more information I’m not sure it’s fair to assume age discrimination.

Did you follow up the interview with a thank you email, preferably... directly to the interviewer(s)?

Was there any discussion of when you should expect to hear from them? If all the interviewer says is “we’ll contact you” make sure you ask follow up questions regarding the timing, communication method, and from whom you should expect the communication. If you don’t hear back in the timeframe stated, I would reach out for an update.  more

Depends on the type of job you are applying for, I don't think if that is discrimination

FYI, in Colorado it is illegal for a prospective employer to ask for your age or date of birth

The advert for the post must have indicated the qualifications inclusive of age bracket. Tell us more about the adverts.

All hiring is discriminatory. They NEED to discriminate between the suitable and the unsuitable, and then from the suitable, the ones that they... assess would perform well from those who wouldn't "fit" so well, and so often (especially with cronyism, nepotism, or vibe-ism) they are massively wrong but it keeps happening because patriarchy. Unfortunately for marginalized candidates, "they" tend to relate best in an interview to candidates who look like them, making the performance data a self fulfilling prophecy. I have an anecdote about equally qualified male & female (same age)who were hired at the same time. The male received water cooler mentoring, drinks with the boys, etc. etc. The female got none of that. Unsurprisingly, given zero support, she failed. See? Women can't handle this job. There's not much you can do about it. A 30 something male manager will never say, "I didn't hire so & so because they don't look like me."  more

I am a senior and look for employers who are appreciate of our generation and are skills. Seek and you will find.

I find it horrible that this happens, it is the same with me and it’s just unfair

Yes I agree but sometimes you will be lucky to have the Manager with the same Country….I will tell the truth here in my company the General Manager... and Production Manager are the one who hired their countryman even they already on their age to retire. We have the luckiest people now and they want to replace 27 years in service onward for free! more

Connect with me let's discuss about it

Also realize it’s not you, it’s the system we live in right !

My advise is keep stepping forward, stay spiritually focused and control what you can control. Create your own way…..

Don’t forget and race discrimination. I have applied for countless positions since 2017….no success only one or two interviews. This is after over 30... years as an educator and performance artist. My qualifications are impeccable , even now at age 75. As an African American male I’m not surprised at anything that goes on in this country. Yes, I’m profoundly qualified.  more

There is an organization called The Grey Panthers that actually helps people fight against what's called ageitis.
