[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's probably salary requirements more than age[/quote] I was OK taking a big pay cut but they can figure out how old you are and much you used to make based on your resume. A potential employer may assume that a 50 year old signing on for 2/3 of what they used to make will be out the door as soon as get an offer closer to their old pay. The hook is that I won't get that "better offer" until I move from "looking for work after a layoff" to "currently employed". That potential employer might be right not to hire me. It is a bit of a trap. Do your research on potential employers. Have people scrub and polish your resume to 2025. Make sure to have some short stories to tell. Work your network and good luck to you![/quote]
