I’m 45 now, and have experienced two job changes in the past 10 years (one voluntary, one involuntary), and although I had some inexplicable rejections - including one where I truly had experience in every single technology in their very long laundry list - I never really thought there was any age discrimination going on. I worry about it, but the situation doesn’t seem to be as dire as I was afraid it could be.
- sverhagen 7y agoI'd say, good for you for not blaming it on age discrimination. Hiring is complex enough (and broken enough) to sometimes not get hired, even if you think it was a perfect match. Sometimes it isn't a match, to no blame on either side. I'm not dismissing the serious problem of ageism, just saying there's still plenty other reasons for rejections too.
