[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]Make sure to have some short stories to tell.
