Listen carefully...
More often, a mouse will eat the cheese laid out in front of him at-a-glance.
He doesn't stop to contemplate the ingredients... spices, proteins, minerals, herbs, or anything else to say the least....
As a result, things don't workout in his favor.
Likewise, before we approach an interview we assume advise from other unknown people without considering the sources as well.
As a result, our outcomes from interviews can vary ending in disapprovals or not highly favorable.
If you want a successful interview, be careful not to eat the cheese you receive from other people.
Then, everything else will fall-in-place in you favor.
I Believe You Can...!

I posted this on another group about ageism and thought you guys would benefit from it as well.
Age discrimination, unfortunately is a reality and companies that won’t hire people over a certain age have to be totally clueless about the many benefits and advantages they’d gain by hiring “older” workers.
After skimming through many of the postings I want to share some things and ask some questions.
It’s pretty unanimous that most of you have applied for umpteen jobs and can’t seem to get hired. Okay, so there are two things to look at here. I am curious as to how many people have sent out countless resumes but don’t get interviews, opposed to how many people are going on interviews but can’t seem to snag the job.
I have a feeling the first scenario is more likely to be the case….
When I learn that intelligent, hard working people, with a decent work history are not getting interviews, I have to believe the problem probably has something to do with the resume. I say this as a professional resume writer, who’s had 13+ years of experience dealing with clients who have wonderful histories, but lousy resumes. I’ve had clients of all ages, but the majority are well over 40, with many who are into their 60s.
When I get a prospective client, I ask him/her to send me a copy of the current resume. I do this for several reasons. First, I provide each individual with an in-depth critique of their resume, at no cost to them. Also, since I don’t have “one price fits all” rates, there are certain things I look for in the resume that gives me what I need to provide the fairest quote.
That being said, I’ve learned that it doesn't matter how smart the person is, how much education they’ve acquired, what level on the corporate hierarchy they’ve reached, or the salary they have received. There is typically one common denominator. Their resume is appalling! I’ve had numerous clients who were earning well into the six figures, yet their resumes were horrifying – truly shocking in some cases and they weren’t getting interviews. Once they received and started sending out the new resume, the interviews came almost immediately, and in 8/10 cases, it led to offers, multiple in some cases!
I’ve never had a client, of any age, who has NOT gotten interviews! Trust me, they certainly would let me know. Yet, when they do contact me, which is often, it’s to tell me they had X number of interviews, with Y offers, and are now gainfully employed. I’m not making this stuff up!
On the other hand, if you are getting interviews but the buck stops there, it’s likely that you’re not interviewing well. Here, the reasons and problems are endless, starting with one’s appearance (clothing choice, hair, makeup, etc.) to verbal and nonverbal communication, behavior, attitude, and more.
I actually hesitated to write this because I didn’t want anyone to think I was doing this in order to get clients. I simply wanted to share my 13+ years of experience working very closely with thousands of people who are looking for jobs.
I just wanted to offer some ideas about where the problem might stem from and give everyone something to consider. (I am not at all implying or saying the problem is with any of you.) The issue is many resumes and/or how you interview might inadvertently be giving off the wrong impression, particularly if you haven't done this in 20, 30+ years! It's no one's fault other than the companies who discriminate against their best group of workers!

Ok yes I'm 56 I still have a lot of good miles under the hood, an lot of Knowledge to share I done everything from slopping Hogs when I was a kid to launching helicopter in the Navy. To all the employers out there don't forget let us deice when we want to stop working
Thank you All for letting rant #jobsearch #age #interview #advice

I was laid off in 4/2020 due to C-19. I have been applying on almost every employment site with no luck. I have a lot of experience in the commercial and industrial HVAC industry, traveled the world as factory technical representative, and operated mechanical contracting business in a 50/50 partnership. Unfortunately, I cannot run service any longer due to physical restrictions, but my knowledge and work ethic(leadership skills) are my greatest assets. Employers are commenting on how impressive my resume is but they chose another candidate. This is the most common reply from employers. Not sure if my age, pay/benefit requirements, qualifications, or they are really not hiring? 🙏🇺🇸 #jobsearch #career #fulltime#benefits #discrimination #age #pay #benefits #compensation #leadership

Regarding age discrimination, I was an HR Manager, and in the HR field for 10 years before the bust in the economy took place in 2008. I know for a fact, although companies say they don't discriminate against age, they really do. They find some other reason not to hire you i.e.; salary requirements are too high or your not a good fit for their culture. If you go into a company and everyone there looks like they are 30 something and you are 50 +....... forget it! You will not fit their age culture. #age #ageism #discrimination #seniors #jobsearch

Please don't mind my picture that is the only one I had. Thanks I am 16

How old you can be to clean around dollar tree?

what is the Age requirement

I want to tell you what I have learned by first hand experience regarding job hunting... First of all I spent way too many hours combing through emails that I receive daily or more. I applied for many so called job recommendations from every Tom, Dick and Harry job website that I received and fit their qualifications. I felt much accomplishment for applying to 20 to 40 jobs a day. It would open up communication per my home and cell phone, texts, email and other forms of contact. This would result in a handful of interviews both by phone and in person which got me excited and thinking about a possible job in my near future. Anyways, what I want to say is I have recently googled job fairs, Michigan Talent Bank which is job part of Unemployment Office. They offer one on one help and weekly companies job fairs at this same office as well as lots of additional guidance because they are not working for their benefit but yours. Also try Public Schools Substitute paraprofessionals which you don't need a lot of skills to get hired. I spoke with them briefly and sent them my resume one day and they called me next day. I need to go to office and bring my I.d. and social security card. They will also fingerprint me but only looking for no felony or child infractions. So hopefully, I will be ready to work within a few days. My mother also does this and she is 80 hrs. Old and was hired last year...They said you can get a permanent job in many. Positions once you start this job. A lot easier and much more chance of getting better job due to already working there. That's all I've got...let you know how this progresses next week...
