In reply to the discussion: Another employment rejection. [View all]Dyedinthewoolliberal
(16,231 posts)58. There is a school of thought about getting a job that goes like this;
1- do some homework on where you want to work and what companies can use a person with your education, experience, skills and age. this can be based on the product, the vision, the values of the company. it could also be based on how far you want to commute.
2- once you identify this company, find out who has the power to hire you. ask everyone you know if they know anyone in this company. if they say yes, ask them to introduce you to that person.
3- get in front of the person who makes the decision. once you talk to the decision maker, you are in the right spot. All the other people in the process are just gatekeepers and they don't want to make a mistake.
Good Luck. Ageism does exist..........
