Am I too old?

I will be returning to a city in the north that I left in 1997. I have been a Realtor for 20 years. When I was in this northern city I worked in a medical setting for 18 years. I would like to get back in that field. I know they remember me so that helps. I left on excellent terms. No degree just a hard worker. Excellent health. Oh, and I am 71. I have been studying Medical Terminology and Excell. I am wondering if my age will be an issue. I show up, work hard and stay out of peoples business. I need some advice from you wonderful people!!

Hi Diane! Ageism definitely is something that hinders mature jobseekers, and can be especially frustrating given that many have so much have lots of knowledge and experience to contribute. I'd recommend you check out this post by my colleague Ashley about some ways to avoid being seen as "too old" for the job. Best of luck!
