I have been in customer service and sales for over 20 years I have mortgage experience. I have applied to so many jobs. I get the "Dear John" letter saying you have good qualifications and your resume looks good but we found someone who is more of what we are looking for. I feel this is because of my age. I am over qualified for these. I just can't prove the reason they won't take me. I have the qualifications they are looking for

That's always the catch, when ageism is present it's usually impossible to prove it. It's odd that companies would forego someone's valuable experience. But they assume they're better off with someone who is going to be more malleable. And, whose lack of experience means they can be paid less.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
