Stop making excuses!!
Think no one is hiring you because of your age? WRONG! As someone older (and wiser) myself I think a person's attitude plays a major role in the hiring process. If you go into the interview with your guard up thinking you have to prove something just because you’re older, you are going about it the wrong way. Yeah you may not look as young as the other applicants, but if you say things like “I have had over 25 years of experience in this field.” YOU are going to make yourself look OLD! Make the interview about THEM not you. Think of it this way, they already asked you in for an interview so that means they are already interested. Stick to why you are great for the job instead of having to defend your age. Age as they say is just a number. So stop making excuses!
That may be true where you are Donald, but not in my area. Sorry age discrimination is real.
I’m looking for a job I know a lot about a lot of things Contractor for Fedex 10 years Busness owner for 13 years
i made the people who were hiring me for the welding apprentincship laugh there asses off. they said i was there first choice, just cause i was funny. so please people, make someone laugh. make them like being around you and they will remember you!!!
Thanks Donald!
Listen, if they don't care about your age then why do they ask you what year you graduated from high school. What's important is the fact that you did graduate, why do they ask you what year? So they know how old you are, what other reason would they want to know the year? It is about your age and nobody can tell me different. The younger people are too quick in doing the right job and are constantly making mistakes, then they want to move on to another job, one that they think will pay more or are closer to home. What about getting that job and in 2 years, they want to start a family. You have NO idea what you're talking about and you shouldn't even be on this site because I guarantee you have a job. Back off and get off the site, you're no help and don't have a clue how how impossible it is to get a job these days with the computer doing all the interviewing!!!
man i am 35 and stuck got no truck or car to find a job,i have walk,bike to look for work and stuck in worst state i have ever lived in my life TEXAS and i from Mass,CT. Biggest mistake of my life.
These days no one wants to hire a person that has a felony.

Thanks Donald
