Welcome to "this side" - the secret is that there are no sides, you might become a day more experienced today than you were yesterday. I don't feel (or act) my age and since I don't celebrate my birthday (or even let others know it's occurred), their guess as to my age is always way low.
In any case, you may not consider yourself employable, but there's almost always a bias for the "gets things done" person. If your blogging and comments here on HN are any indication, I don't think you'd have an issue with someone that's truly looking for the right person. Many institutions are looking for the politically correct person and like you, I don't have time for them.
Fijne verjaardag :-)
- aagha 11y agoI think you hit the nail on the head: "Many institutions are looking for the politically correct person..." Politics so often dictates who companies hire and influence factors like gender, age and sex. Sad. Though being able to work with people matters and being nice/kind is a good quality to have, the focus on making sure the right backs are scratched as become so pervasive in the corporate world that it actually holds back progress.
