Concerned about my age!!!
I've been job searching for about 6 months now and, although no one would ever say so, I'm concerned my age is a negative......I turned 60 in October!

I know what you are feeling. I have been overlooked for jobs for many years. For one interview that I had I was told I was too old and I was male. I have given up looking for the professional jobs I was seeking.
