to old to work

well i do not feel old and yes old enough for ss but want to work and have applied so many times for the work in my field and seems to be over looked or always get this your over qualified but will keep your resume on file and if something else comes up will give you a call it seems like i do good in the interview but then comes the question well you have not worked in a while why is that and i tell the truth and never get called back just because someone turns 65 why do so many recruiter want to put your out to pasture?

Hi Patricia: It seems like the question of why you haven't worked in awhile is holding you back. I think employers are worried that your skills might be out of touch, so it's your job to show them that you're up-to-date and in the loop about what's going on in your industry!
