Mike Ososki commented on Gavin Redelman's blog post 'Job Interview First Impressions'"It is said that 50% of of our opinion is subconsciously formed in the first 30-seconds of meeting someone. The rest of the time is spent looking for clues that validate our opinion. So make that first impression count!"
Sandra McCartt commented on Mike Ososki's blog post 'Older Workers'"@Tom Actually you and i almost always do agree. I am well aware that age discrimination does exist just pointing out that in most cases if it is strong then why beat our shaggy, gray heads (not mine thanks to vanity) against a wall…"
Valentino Martinez commented on Mike Ososki's blog post 'Older Workers'"@ Sandra - Funny and true...cute heifers included.
@Heinz - You see the big picture well.
@Tom - All experience is relevant if it's relevant. For you to say "the last 10 years is the MOST relevant" is actually…"
Heinz Bartesch commented on Mike Ososki's blog post 'Older Workers'"Tom, I don't think Sandra was insinuating in any way that age discrimination doesn't exists, I believe we all know it does. We all see it and know it's there at the corporate level. If I read her comments correctly, I believe…"
Sandra McCartt commented on Mike Ososki's blog post 'Older Workers'"What i find so interesting about the resume game is that we would never tell a kid to leave off dates of graduation so part time or school positions looked like full time work experience or anything else to make themselves look older if somebody…"
Valentino Martinez commented on Mike Ososki's blog post 'Older Workers'"Yeah--Sandra...the truth sets you free and sets everyone straight. I'd rather flush-out a snake, a rat and the weasels who will discriminate upfront--rather than waste my time trying to convert them. "
Joyce C commented on Mike Ososki's blog post 'Older Workers'"I agree. Everyone who is qualified should be given a chance. Unfortunately, people that are qualified that have become one of the long term unemployed through no fault of their own seem to be passed over for some jobs or maybe many. What has…"
Heinz Bartesch commented on Mike Ososki's blog post 'Older Workers'"bravo Sandra! I'm with you 100%"
Sandra McCartt commented on Mike Ososki's blog post 'Older Workers'"And please recruiters, quit telling people who are over 50 to leave dates of education and early jobs off of their resume. You are not, repeat not, fooling anyone with that silliness. It's the biggest red flag that you are worried…"
Mike Ososki commented on Mike Ososki's blog post 'Older Workers'"Yes, most companies are open to older workers for management positions, thank goodness :)"
Sandra McCartt commented on Mike Ososki's blog post 'Older Workers'"I just placed the new manager of a local division of a national company. The candidate was selected over 3 other candidates who were all 20 years younger. The successful candidate was chosen due to experience, ability to communicate without using…"

Older Workers

Why not see great candidates over 40, or even 50?
Does more youth = more energy and time spent working?
Do you dream younger people will stay with you 10-20 years?
Does being older mean being too set in our ways?
None of these things are relevant to age, and you know it.
The last 3 years has shaken the hell out of everything.
The right person for your company can be any age.
Here’s the criteria:
1. Not a job-hopper.
2. Current,…
