Is anyone else dealing with ageism? I just turned 57 and am fully capable of doing the work, but I'm getting zero traction. I have great skills and decades of experience, but no one gives me the time of day. How do I get employers to look past my age and see my value?

I’m 63. You can’t hide it. I retired from the government after 34 years and I’ve had and lost several jobs since then. I need to work but people want someone who is looking for a career. I had my career. I just want a job.

are you sure that it's age problem? I am not yet 50 and getting the same amount of traction so far.

How are they finding your age? Im an HR Manager. Do not put dates on your resume. Don't put High School or college grad dates. Only list last 2 companies and if you need to list more, dont put dates. They are not supposed to discriminate, Yes, I know companies do. I just hired a 41 year old man with Grey hair. He was qualified and I assumed he might be older in my mind, but nothing was said in any interview or water cooler talk. Its just not allowed. I could not discriminate nor did we. Hired a great candidate. Keep looking, there are great companies out there who need your expertise.

That is fine…I will be glad to give you a good job referral kindly send me a message —

I’m sober curious. I’m also about to help a new non-alcoholic spirit company with their launch.
I have a question for people in recovery. If a brand were to contend that sobriety is a spectrum, or allow for that to a least be part of the conversation, how does that make you feel? Are other brands doing a good job of being inclusive of people who are truly sober?
(I get that NA drinks / spirits can be triggering for people in recovery)
Thank you.

I currently work in Revenue Cycle Management and I’m so unhappy. I started my career with BCBS processing claims and that was a dream. I would take a pay cut just to go back to that.

Suggestions?
