Age...over 50 with excellent experience but difficult to get an opportunity for career growth.

My age. Interviewers are all enthusiastic about talking to me on the phone making the interview appointment, but then they see me and then the whole conversation changes into how I wouldnt quite be "a good fit"

Age/ qualification

I am a felon 16 years ago I got into drugs and was convicted of ID theft I have gotten 3 jobs then rescinded cuz my background check even though I have completed treatment and my last job I was assistant manager at a store I still can't get a job. Qualifications I have those.

I believe my employment gap and my age are hurting me. I also do not believe recruiters take the time to get to know me so that they can properly represent me. There may be qualifications on a description that is not on my resume; however, my life experiences prove I have a very strong ability to learn and succeed at most every endeavor I have attempted. I have succeeded in accomplishing two degrees, my BS I earned while raising three children and being married to a military man which required six different colleges, My MBA I earned while working full time and still raising three children. That alone takes a strong will to succeed. I haven't worked with a lot of the newer HRIS systems; however, I did help develop one during my BS internship. Companies I worked for did not chose to spend their money on these systems; however, everything the systems do, I did manually. I am just amazed at all the positions I see open and then reopened and I am not given any consideration. I am not necessarily looking for career growth at this point, I am looking for a stable company with a welcoming culture that can use my KSA's to help them accomplish their goals.

Age. I'm a senior and overqualified

@Jennifer Young, my biggest blocker is job searching, applying, not getting accepted or not hearing back from the company or being disappointed/discouraged and that's the one thing that's holding me back, unfortunately.
