[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its totally a thing for people under 35.  But almost 50 looks 30s not so much.[/quote]

Right, and OP says she’s middle aged, so I’m not buying it.[/quote]

NP. When I was 44, a member of the board of directors at my organization apologized to me. She told them I was too inexperienced for my job. She made this statement based on my appearance. She told me she thought I was at the max, 30. I told her I was 44 to her face. Yes, this happens.

I also had a direct report make a snarky comment the first day we met that “oh, we look about the same age.” She was 29. I was 46. She had wanted the job. I told her about my experience and that I was about 17 years older than her. [/quote]

You don’t carry or dress yourself well. [/quote]

I kind of have to agree. We have an executive who is in her 50s, looks to be much younger but people have taken her seriously since her 20s since she dressed like a power player. Some other women her age who also look young are thought to be in more junior positions even though they are really experienced managers and I think a lot of is they dress differently. They aren't bad dressers. I actually like the style one of them dresses in but the style speaks fun and kind of sophisticated gal/pal rather than "boss lady" to me."[/quote]
