giving up on the corporate america

Now i hear of job growth everywhere, who seeing this? because i haven't maybe it because i'm 51 and the job market doesn't desire a person with either experience or not percieved as a good physical worker by the way of age.i see my friends overseas getting hired at 50 and most of them are just starting or re-starting back being employed, they asked me is it like that in america? i told them like this "It's not what you know but who you know and who knows you. it's sad also the public assistance doesn't help either all for them is about numbers that's why i've giving up on this country in it employee/ employer status. Now if i had the money to leave i would ( And not because of Donald Trump) but for opportunity not available here except if you're a felon.it's sad but true age discrimination has to go

Hi Frank James do some companies hire from within and "why they know"? Definitely, but not all! I would make sure that your [resume] (https://www.jobcase.com/conversations/26a3b2ad-871a-5281-a384-66c35e69f190) is good to go and truly highlights those skills and experiences you have had. Are you landing any interviews? If not it's likely due to your resume, so take a few moments to look it over. Also, be sure to look at company reviews. See what past employees are saying about them. Check out their website and take a look at their **[culture] (https://www.jobcase.com/conversations/d98a6946-b042-5278-8899-45b1326fd186)**very closely! I am wishing you the best, keep your head up Frank! Don't compare what you do to anyone else.
