Reports of ageism have gone up massively since covid changed "normal life" for everyone. And we see how age discrimination effects people everyday in this community.
That's why I want to take this moment to celebrate the Jobcase community - and these 2 success stories:
@Dinah Junek "I'm sure there are places that don't hire older ones. You know what I say it's their loss!! Keep trying #advice"
Connect with Dinah at this post@Stephen Blette just landed a job with Aflac and said, "our work ethic it’s better than these millennials and gen zee"
Say hi to Steven on his post here
I got the job I have been hoping for.. Start tomorrow can't wait. Any advice??
I kept reading and hearing how it was going to be difficult to get a job in IT at 61. Especially when i was looking for something geared more for the PC side and not Infrastructure side....that Id be too over qualified as well. Well - after 37 years in IT/networking my last company of 15 years outsourced our team over seas. I took a few months to look around, apply and then hit it hard. I was offered a job yesterday that fits what I'm looking for and pay nearly what I made prior. So dont feed into the negativity. Create a plan- refine your resume, search for work and stop believing that negative stuff. If you are hire-able you will get opportunities. If you are not hire-able then put a goal and plan together to make yourself hire -able. You'll feel better for doing it.
I had a interview even yes I have a job, but this one is a better position and pays 22.95 hr. I’m happy, excited. Just can’t wait to start. #successstory
I’ve been unemployed since mid April but starting new job 11/1. Georgia DOL had not paid me my unemployment for mid April thru mid June. After numerous emails and phone calls, I was finally able to secure the $$ today. Advice - be persistent - phone calls, emails, schedule appts with case workers, contact your local state congressman, pray!
Just completed all pre-screening and interview process for fedex ground pittsburgh PA.
Have you ever worked at fedex?
I have found a job and now working. Thank you
Hired at 73. United Healthcare hired me at 73 years old. And they are hiring now. I work from home, 40 hours a week. The job ain’t easy but they don’t discriminate because of age.
Just got hired! Hooray! I will be working for a realtor in Detroit. Hoping for the best!
How are you guys doing today? I hope you are having a wonderful day! :) #hired #motivation #workfromhome
