[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re talking about job searching, I think men who have let themselves go have a tougher time landing a job after 50. Women have beauty aids, make up, jewelry, scarves, various clothing that can help them pass as younger. A guy with a beer belly who is bald can only do so much to help their appearance. [/quote]
But isn’t the larger point that they are not getting interviews in the first place?[/quote]

You can no longer apply to junior jobs within big corporations. Big corporations designed their business to be able to scale based on cheap junior resources, who are putting up with no money partly because they get to work with young, attractive opposite sex. A 55 year old man or woman do not make your colleagues excited to go in office, they don’t want to flex their knowledge to train you and they feel exhausted trying to loop you in their bar hopping stories.

But a smaller company where you are more mature and manages conflict well and you are efficient in managing tasks, you have a good chance. [/quote]
