i feel i am being disc riming against me by puting my birthday on application how do i avoid that #ageism
on all job offerings they ask either your date of birth or what year you graduated from high school. I thought it was illegal to ask for age. I feel like I am being discriminated against because of my age. #ageism
Well if thats truly the case you are applying at the wrong places.Those places want young people they can mold,shape and bend into production machines.They could care less about you. Is that you reslly want. Money is their bottom line. A old school company who just wants your dependability and ability to get the job done. Is much easier to get and more suitable for people of our age. Not as much money but if that is a issue now your in trouble no matter what.
Well you said it all. Overqualified to them means you will be too expensive and thays usually the bottom line in corporate. Who have never even worked in the field. In my position I am so far ahead of the maintenance skill level coming in. When applying I just figure out what Im willing to except in pay. The key is getting in the door. If you really know your stuff you will and dont go into it with a attitude because this younger generation will rebel against you because they are intimidated of you. So take it easy we dont have to prove ourselves anymore instead fall into the role of mentor. You will draw them in like fly. The management will see their value in you and there you are. I prefer that now to the fast pace extremely demanding,higher paying positions Im qualified to have. Those are for the young folks. Enjoy the fact that you dont have to be everything to all people any more to stay on top.

Following the forgiveness of my student loans in 2021, I have actively sought employment for over two years. Despite holding master's degrees in Business Administration and Public Health, I have only secured five interviews. This suggests a potential mismatch between my qualifications and available opportunities, with feedback indicating I may be perceived as either overqualified or lacking relevant experience.
I have received counsel to omit my advanced degrees from my resume and instead focus on leveraging my undergraduate degree in Science, Health, and Wellness. However, I am uncertain about the efficacy of this strategy. Is strategically downplaying my educational achievements the most effective approach to securing employment? #resume #ageism
Strategically downplaying your advanced degrees on your resume and emphasizing your undergraduate degree may be a good approach to address potential overqualification perceptions. Tailoring your resume to highlight relevant experience and skills for the roles you are applying for can help you secure more interviews.
Consider rephrasing your resume to focus on the practical skills and experiences gained from your education and previous job roles, rather than solely listing degrees. It's important to showcase how your qualifications align with the specific job requirements. Also, consider seeking advice from a professional resume writer or career counselor for further guidance on how to best present your qualifications.
Remember to utilize job search platforms like Jobcase, Indeed, LinkedIn, and others to explore a wide range of opportunities that match your background and skills. Networking and reaching out to industry professionals can also help you in your job search. Stay positive and persistent in your efforts - the right opportunity is out there for you! #resume #jobsearch #careeradvice

Hello All - I started this community area for older workers who might be looking to re-enter the workforce. As you know, the U.S. is and soon will be facing a tremendous shortage in workers. This will make it more attractive for employers to recruit 55+ candidates. As with any job search, older workers will need to be patient and resilent, but also focused on acquiring the right set of skills for what is being forecasted as the longevity economy. I hope we all can use this forum to share experiences, #advice and successes on the path to fighting #ageism and finding fulfilling and important work again.
How would you feel if companies started to implement age minimums/maximums for their roles?
