The challenge of age discrimination?
Well, it happened, the company I worked for let me go because of their slowdown from Covid.
The challenge I face now is trying to find my next job with millions of other candidates searching.
When I lost my job because of another company I worked for went out of business years before. It didn't bother me as much, cause I was confident and knew my great worker reputation and being open to relocating would get me a job quick. For I was even getting calls from recruiters looking for top candidates like me back then.
Fast forward to this current job search. I am still the same hard worker. Salary is still in the range for my experience and qualifications. My interest in relocating has changed since the previous job loss search. This time I prefer to stay in my beautiful home and town I love. Which is possible to do these days. Since the work I do is fully capable of being a remote position. I proved myself of being a productive WFH employee by doing this during my two previous jobs.
The difference, 8 years older now. And reaching those discriminatory ages? I can see it. No recruiters calling me, and not as many responses back from my resumes sent.
Why? I am the same hard worker.
