Age Discrimination?
Hoping someone has some advice. Have been trying to procure a job for the past year. I apply and sometimes never hear back, or am told I do not have the qualifications, when I know in fact I do, or it is filled. I am a senior lady with many years of experience in the medical field. I would love to obtain a job as a receptionist or customer service or even remote work. I am computer literate and learn very quickly. I would love some insight with regards to my predicament. #jobsearch #workfromhome #advice #ageism

@Maria Jimenez I’m sorry to hear you are subjected to age discrimination. I did a little research via ChatGPT and this is the information I received.
Seniors in the medical field can explore opportunities such as medical billing, medical transcription, health education, or administrative roles in healthcare settings. Additionally, part-time positions or consulting work could be suitable, considering their experience and expertise. Networking and checking with local healthcare facilities might reveal tailored opportunities.
I hope this information helps you land the position you are searching for. Godspeed!

Have you removed from your resume anything beyond ten years and the dates for your education?
If you're interested in remote jobs try searching job boards using the term "healthcare remote"
Good luck!

Make sure to research the companies you plan on applying to, or interviewing with, because they will ask you. Companies want to know you care enough to know about them. Don't be nervous, you'll either get the job or not, it's cut and dry; nothing personal.
