Why is it that employers won’t hire people who are over 60 I’ve applied for numerous positions for the same job I did for over 40 plus and as soon as I arrive at the interview I can tell that they have already made their minds up about me and whether I can get the job done Yet I see companies that have turned me down re advertising the position when if they had given a’ mature applicant a chance they may have found someone who would have stayed

Discrimination happens way too much. Can affect younger people too. Not many to pick from if it's just the 25-35 window. 🤔

Doesn't make much sense to me Graham. Why wouldn't they consider everyone if they're looking for the best worker.
