40 Y.O MAN CAN’T FIND JOB – SOME HIRERS SAY “TOO OLD”, OTHERS SAY “NOT ENOUGH EXPERIENCE”

40 is awesome! Age discrimination from both directions!

25 years working, 15 in chemical manufacturing. One interviewer strongly implied I’m to old to be starting fresh. (asked a lawyer, it’s not actionable)

Another told me I don’t have enough experience!

Hiring managers; You have collectively lost your goddamn minds.

Netizens’ comments

  1. WTF 40 isn’t even old!
  2. I’m 39. I feel ya. I don’t even have as much experience as you. Yay 08′ recession!!!
    Here’s what it is…..they want someone with 25 years of experience who’s 20 years old. That’s the problem.
  3. As a woman, after 40 I earned less than I did at 27. I didn’t even have my degree then. After investing thousands of dollars and years of my time in getting the degree to support my family, I averaged less than minimum wage.
    Oh, I was in demand though! I had all these fabulous contract jobs that gave me a “chance” tobecome permanent but in 15 years with that carrot on a stick, I came second at all interviews and didn’t get the job. Then my kid grew up and he made more money than I did.
  4. All I am hearing is “You are too knowledgeable and experienced to exploit.” Gross
  5. I’m 44 and feel this strongly. Just got a new job and feel like those slightly older and more infantilise me, those younger think I’m an old fogey.
  6. As a 45 year old woman looking for a job this is depressing. Went to a group interview today for a job I’m completely capable of doing. I was the only person there of my description.
    I was the only one who left without an orientation date. I have a degree and have managed businesses in the past. I was well dressed, well spoken and completely qualified. Made me feel worthless.
