“There is age discrimination, but I think there are two kinds. One is when the employer is discriminating for specific reasons and doing it intentionally. The other is where you have managers who really aren't looking to discriminate but feel a little on edge because the candidate they're talking to is older. Sometimes they can even smell age concern on the part of the candidate and they wind up discriminating almost unconsciously.” ThinkingKindSometimesReasonAgeConcernDiscrimination Author:Nick Corcodilos
“I think that the big age problem in the job market today is really on the part of employers and that they don't seem to be calculating the cost of age discrimination to them when they practice it.” ThinkingProblemAgeTodayDiscrimination Author:Nick Corcodilos
“I really think you cannot separate the money from the age. When employers discriminate over age, they're also discriminating over money. Older workers tend to make more money, especially the higher up you go, and companies don't want to spend the money. They want to spend less.” ThinkingAge Author:Nick Corcodilos
“I really don't think that an older worker can stop age discrimination, but you can successfully distract the employer from that issue if you focus on the reason they really want to hire you and that can make you more successful. It's up to you to demonstrate that.” ThinkingReasonAgeSuccessfulFocusDiscrimination Author:Nick Corcodilos
