40 years - and you do not need anybody?

Website of the day:. Notes by Comba.

I have not told me that I help in finding candidates for jobs? . Right now, for example, I have red hot phone, and programmers do not have to respect. But for others turns out quite well chosen - by the more visible.

Actually, what I. Yesterday, a woman's voice calls me and wants to apply for a job referred to in the ad. If you've heard the voice of Novodvorskaya - that something like this I've heard in a tube. In the conversation it became clear that her 40 years. I asked - and the lady was reading a posting (there was a request from 25 to 30). In the end I got a bucket on his ear, screaming and wailing on the age and the vast experience that she had received. Having estimated that such a hysterical unlikely srastetsya with a potential boss, I dropped a call. But the woman called back a little later and threatened to sue for discrimination.

By the time I was able to talk with the employer and found that age is not critical, although it is desirable. But this hysteria is completely puts an end to this figure.

And here I thought. In 40 years of working life ends? . My mother, though faced with the requirements of age, but easy enough to find a place according to the skills and desires. My father never had any problems with employment, even now in their 60 -something - he demanded a specialist.

Where does this hysteria? . Moreover, the director candidly admits in this. I have no doubt that there are young people who can work with the elderly as Vice. But if not, does not work - why should anything require emphasize on their experience. Even if you take, then a couple of months you leave yourself, because the chief - a young moron and did not understand, but you.

I worked with three ladies older than herself. All gone with the scandal, which they themselves and made. Their further fate turned out differently, but no one was impossible to apply a stamp in the title of this article. We simply did not work. The man in the age and experience is difficult to accept that a person under the age may be right, simply because he is your boss.

There is also the problem that age people in some occupations are weak. For example, I do not believe in programmers in 40 years. Was the case in my practice when I was faced with a programmer for almost 50 years. The way he did it - worthy of the opera. The employer eventually expelled him, and I made it work faster than once every three.

It is hard to imagine forty years, where required strength and endurance of twenty. It is only in the movie Die Hard Bruce Willis throwing terrorists with one hand, but in life everything is different. And no experience will help.

Too tolerant society becomes. Sometimes it comes to the absurd. And in what good it does not lead. As soon as the company rushes to protect someone - that someone sits down on his neck. Personally, my neck do not like it.
