Schooling is one of the many trainings that we need to help us in life. And as we go,or chooses, to go further in higher education, usually we have decided on a career that we will be doing as a profession for life. It is naive of us to think that any job will hire us with no training of the position that we are applying for,some job will train us for a position,but the norm is that many employees are looking for someone who is trained and in some cases with experiences. We shouldn't think of this as not fair,because after all we want the same standard when will go to get our hair done,make a order for food,call a taxi,go to the store,need a baby sitter,go to the doctor,seek help for repairs on our house and many and all other things we need help or service with in this life,we wants someone that is trained.

The number of people bitching-and-complaining about getting a job is ridiculous. The number of younger people bitching-and-complaining about getting a job is ridiculous.

Continuity builds for better business. To hear anyone say a company is only looking to it's to hire a younger generation is foolish.

Working on both sides of the fence, the younger generation is tech-savvy and lazy and the older generation will work hard and can't figure out technology.

Get on board or leave. It's pretty simple. And, no...I'm not some 18-40 year old snot-nosed kid.

So I really don’t understand the notion that an IT Analyst is an entry level help desk. It seems the entire Midwest has moved over to contractors for these roles and think they can pay pennies on the dollar. They wonder why they can’t find someone who can do the job when the only ones accepting them are recent graduates without a week of experience so they play with the market. To all other Analysts out there, for everyone and your own good, do not accept under $22 /hr. And if your in a field where the average pay is declining fight for it as well, or the well payed professional will cease to be.

I have twenty plus years of experience in development, Linux and Windows administation of all types, hardware, networking, etc. Twenty plus years.. And I'm being told that I do not have enough experience and they go and hire some fresh-out-of-college person. It's like people are not reading resumes? I don't know what the issue is here?

I can relate to your situation as I am 48 and currently retired from the military. There are many areas on my resume that may soon have to fall off because of the 10 year work experience cut off. The best way to work around this is when in an interview is to draw back on those positive work experiences and communicate those to your interviewer. I think in some cases if they can see your excitement or passion from previous work experiences it can show them your relevance for what you may be currently trying to obtain.

It's live & in living color, the companies doing the hiring are not wanting us it appears, they want the younger generation, who don't really want to work as bad as us seasoned candidates. Totally confused. But there is more than one way into the job market, if they know like we know, they would be breaking their necks to hire experienced help verses their other choice's, ijs
