I have applied at a ton of positions which I am way overqualified for....no one ever gets back to me and when I try to call to "verify any additional information that they might need"...I only get answering machines. ANY job right now helps to pay the bills. Gook Luck! And, yes, I truly believe that age discrimination exists.

Hope you get it!

Yes! Age discrimination does exist! If you are past 50, employers don't want to talk to you. It took me 8 months to find a job.

Best of luck! I was in Catherine's yesterday and love their employees. My store has employees in all age groups! Hope you get the job!

Bebe, congratulations on getting the job at Catherine's. Hope you find it a enjoyable environment to work in.

Sheila_H 09-25-2011 03:46 PM

Wonderful news Bebe good luck with your new job!

MargeD 09-25-2011 03:46 PM

Good luck on the interview. I know how hard it is to find work, I finally just quit looking and took my Social Security, even though it's not much, it's better than nothing. Besides, my husband became disabled 2 days before I was laid off for the second time in a year and I had to be home to take him to all his appointments, drive him everywhere, etc., etc. It's just hunkey dorey that we're together 24/7 - doesn't get much better than that. lol

Tweety2911 09-25-2011 04:51 PM

Wishing you Good Luck!

I guess I am in the same boat as you, I agree about the age discrimination....it just stinks, I know I could run circles around some of these younger ones who seem to have no work ethics to boot !!
