I'm mid-40s, Xoogler, Program Manager, Startup founder & failer, UK-based. 130 applications since March, 4 interviews, no offers.
Previous blue-chip job history with 100% application success rate, through my 20s and 30s.
Have now left the industry due to what I and various recruitment professionals had to conclude was age discrimination.
It exists.
- cpeterso 7y agoI now omit my university dates on my resume and sometimes drop older jobs LIFO. The tools and experience from those jobs is less relevant to my current work anyway.
- frogperson 7y agohave you considered consulting? Companies love to pay extra for experience, but only in small doses.
