[quote=Anonymous]Ageism is real.  Ive seen it behind the scenes directly. We were hiring a new HR director. Im on the executive management team and for This role therr were 4 decisiin makers, CFO, EPV, CEO, ans myself.  We had 2 grest candidates. One was a woman ~32 another, a woman ~50. I really liked the older candidate,  she had a lot of solid experience. Out of my colleagues mouth DIRECTLY they said "well isnt she a little old? Do yii think she is a cultursl fit?" They said OLD!!! Mind yiu thesr men are mid 30s to 52 themselves and I'm 39. I fought for her and she got the job, but i was stunned.

My DH is in Tech sales and there is a lot of job mobility in that arena and jad no problems getting multiple offers for a job hr just started a few weeks ago. He's 41. He is on a team number and his partner is 53. Thisnis a very hot tech company.

DH and i keep ourselves fit, clothes current, on top of technology trends, and thin because those steps will help us combat ageism later in life.[/quote]
