Age Discrimination.......I Can Feel Your Pain!

I am currently sitting in a training session for my responsibility as an employment specialist and listening to the concerns in this room about the difficulty of age discrimination in getting a job interview. It is so tough for them. There is so much frustration being voiced.

These people are trying to secure jobs to provide for their family. Some of them have been pushed out of jobs because of their age, and others just want to re-enter the workforce but just can't seem to find the key.  Sometimes the jobs they are qualified are just not out there anymore.  

We also talked about how most online application procedures are intended to limit the number of applications human HR personnel has to process.

Occasionally these older applicants might be offered an interview, but often times can't get past the interview stage.  It is really frustrating for them.

It really increases my appreciation for network marketing. Network marketing doesn't care about your age. It is all about how you perform.  You don't have to jump through hoops just to get in front of a person who can/will hire you.

I really would like to spread the word that there ARE other options out there.
