]]> Comment on Age Discrimination is Over! by Dale Campbell http://www.jobtabs.com/blog/index.php/2010/12/21/age-discrimination-is-over/comment-page-1/#comment-7452 Dale Campbell Wed, 04 May 2011 21:37:03 +0000 http://www.jobtabs.com/blog/?p=296#comment-7452 There is no doubt that there is still age discrimination - but that goes for old and young, skin color, height and even weight - you name it. It is how you deal with it that makes a difference. I know people my age that I would not hire because they are 'old'! But I think they were born old :) But, to make a point, I once had an interview with a very young lady (Janet). It was a hot summer day - no office air conditioning. I made a joke about the weather and took out a tiny battery-operated fan I had in my purse. The interview turned into fun with my little fan purring away through the whole thing. Unfortunately I did not get any further interview for the job. Perhaps it was age discrimination. Perhaps just not the right fit. However - 4 months later I received a call from that same agency asking me why, after my interview, I did not apply for any other jobs. I explained that I had not seen any ads suitable for my skills. The response: 'Oh, Janet is no longer with us and we are sorting out her files and we were just wondering as she gave you such a raving review'. I find that fascinating - so much for age discrimination.....

The title is insensitive to the many who have been discriminated against and I regret writing it. I was wrong and I am sorry. I am an expert in landing jobs and I am an expert in computer programming. JobTabs is the by product of those skills. In my attempt to groom my marketing skills, I am sure to make mistakes. My study of the subject of blogging is to write controversial material that is supposed to invite discussion. I figured, "Well this title should get some action." Well it did, but not the kind of action I was looking for. I zigged when I should have zagged. Thanks for putting me in my place! @Sally K

Older experienced workers that have the credentials, accomplishments, and a well-polished professional demeanor cannot compete in a job market that has over 9% unemployment. Those thirty years of experience you tout, as an advantage is a “dead giveaway” as to the age of the applicant. Even in careers where the pay is managed (i.e. everyone starting at this employer in a standard position gets the same pay rate) and supposedly, the need is great, like teaching, a person over 55 cannot get an interview. Age discrimination can take many subtle forms, and employers are often clever about hiding their discriminatory practices, like asking for transcripts, which clearing indicates an applicant’s age or when company layoffs are announced, most of those laid off are older, while younger workers with less seniority, less on-the-job experience and smaller salaries were retained. It is common into today’s work environment that unless you have a very unique skill You will be passed up for a job because the employer wanted a “younger-looking”, cheaper-to-hire, paid-less, more flexible, and many more excuses, younger person. So unless you have had the “age” experience, do not make grandiose generalizations that are “full of it”! “Age discrimination is over” Only an arrogant job holder under the age of 55 could make such a foolish statement.

]]> Comment on The Job Search Spreadsheet – You Have Choices by admin http://www.jobtabs.com/blog/index.php/2009/03/02/217/comment-page-1/#comment-2074 admin Thu, 18 Jun 2009 13:55:12 +0000 http://www.jobtabs.com/blog/?p=217#comment-2074 Greg, good question. Yes, JobTabs tracks and saves information when you email to a job. Yes, it will also save your job application when you apply online. If you go to ABC company's website, you can upload your resume and your cover letter and JobTabs will automatically save everything. You will not have to go to a spreadsheet and log anything. You will not even have to go to a separate location in JobTabs to log anything. It is all done for you. One of the biggest drains job seekers suffer is the administrative overload of the job search. It is a very tedious process and you will never know which job application is going to lead you to that dream job. Therefore, you have to organize everything very well. Ask yourself how easy it is to organize everything well in a process you dread doing. It is very difficult. JobTabs allows you to manage multiple resumes, multiple job applications, multiple job postings/offerings/listings, with ease. Relieve yourself of the organizational quagmire of the job search and utilize a tool to do it for you. Thanks for posting this great question. Sincerely, John P. Coffey Greg, good question.
