SUCKS!
Thanks for asking!
I still need to work as I am 65 in August, one more year at least but I'd like to wait until I'm 68....don't see that happening
Seems more then ever you need to know someone to get a "real" job, that said my friends company's want to hire kids not experience. Swiss think kids know how to sell to kids. Oh well I was young once.
i do believe there is a massive amount of age discrimination out there as well as a lack of curiosity? 35 years in retail and wholesales and the skills I've honed over the years cannot be applied to selling widgets? I apply to 10 jobs a day, retail management, leasing, drugs, wine, just about anything but IT, crickets.
Hi Ho!
Someone pour me a whisky and pass the lighter please!
