[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like that was just too low a level position for you. This is why it is difficult to get a job when you are older. You can't go back down the ladder very easily because you often actually are a better candidate for the job of the person interviewing you. Make sure you are interviewing for a position that is lateral or higher unless a large percentage of the group you are moving into is also older (generally, more secure in field, less threatened).[/quote] I agree with this. You can own your experience and strengths in such interviews. I know it's tough right now. But if the interviewers are younger AND less experienced, they will not be able to appreciate what you bring to the table. They just see older lady/mom and don't want to deal with it.[/quote]
