How easy is it really to get a job when you're over 50?I have worked as a careers adviser helping many people 50+ try to find work usually following redundancy and it was very difficult but I did have a good success rate. Unfortunately the government funding was cut and my role ceased to exist so I was pressurised to leave. My job my being given totally unachievable targets. I subsequently left my job at the age of 59. Since then I have not claimed any benefits but lived on my savings until depleted and now work on a zero hours contract on a much lower rate of pay than I have earned in many years. I now have to continue struggling until I am eligible for my pension when I am 66 unless the government raise the age, yet again!
