Just joined so I'm introducing myself.I am seeing the same type of discrimination at 52. I apply for jobs that I am qualified for and have specifically performed before and never even get a call back or email. Unfortunately, the application system now is all in favor of companies discriminating and there is really no way it can be proven. You rarely, if ever, speak to anyone anymore, just apply online and get automated emails you cannot respond to. I believe some companies even have programs that weed out applications upon submission and automatically send out rejection notices. I say this because I have applied to jobs online before, on a weekend, and received an email within 5 minutes stating that they appreciate me applying but they decided to hire someone who's experience better fit their needs. In 5 minutes? Working as yourself as a free lancer may be hard at first and maybe even longer hours, but you are building something that is YOURS and I would rather work 18 hours a day for myself than 8 to make someone else rich and reach their dreams. Best of luck to you!ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi, I'm Kevin, Just joined SIlver Surfers from sunny Tampa, Florida! I'll be 52 in a week, work as an armed security officer, was a certified personal trainer/Specialist in Senior Fitness, and a martial artist/instructor. After a work injury I had 2 rotator cuff surgeries, then a knee surgery and cannot do as much as I used to, but I am taking back my health, have lost 20+ pounds and came off of my blood pressure meds. Being 50+ means nothing. We can live active, full lives well into our later years if we choose to do something about it. Now my focus is blogging on senior fitness and helping men be all God created them to be. Glad to be here!
