*Networking how-to: overcome age discrimination *

The other day, I received a phone call from one of my lifelong friends. She
was distraught having received some feedback following a job interview. The
essence of the feedback that she received from the HR manager (which was
provided via email) was that the team didn't think she could keep up with
the fast pace of their workplace and that they felt that the challenges of
the position would be too much for her.

- *Net net:** You are too old for us. You can't keep up. You're dated.
We don't value you.*

My friend is 52 years young – just two months "older" than me. She has more
than twenty years of experience in her professional field. She's a
go-getter, and has successfully run her own consultancy practice for a
number of years.

She shared with me that she could do this particular job with her eyes
closed. The HR manager and everyone whom she met during the interview
process was clearly younger than her. That much she could see. There's
something else that is clearly visible, but few people want to acknowledge
it.

*Age discrimination at work*

It's time to openly discuss the "white elephant in the room" -the issue of
ageism and its negative influence in the job search and hiring process.

Ageism is defined as the act of stereotyping and discriminating against
individuals or groups on the basis of their age. Wikipedia claims that the
term "ageism" (also spelled agism) was first coined in 1969 by Robert Neil
Butler to describe discrimination against seniors, and patterned on sexism
and racism.

Butler defined "ageism" as a combination of three (3) connected elements.
Among them were: 1) prejudicial attitudes towards older people, old age,
and the aging process; 2) discriminatory practices against older people;
and 3) institutional practices and policies that perpetuate stereotypes
about older people.

*Schmoozers to the rescue*

In preparing to write this blog, I reached out to a highly seasoned
professional with deep knowledge in this area – Judith
R.Rosenthal<http://wl1.peer360.com/b/9a6bzFFlYw2p0XUgjXAS/mle.asp?hl=63029571&r=BDECDJFD&CID=326770>,
volunteer leader for the *JETS/ Schmoozer's Job
Network*<http://wl1.peer360.com/b/9a6bzFFlYw2p0XUgjXAS/mle.asp?hl=63029571&r=BDECDJFD&CID=326771>in
Connecticut.

The Schmoozer's Job Network is thought to be the largest volunteer led
employment transition service support network in the state of Connecticut,
serving more than 3,000 people over their 4+ years. Their services (which
are all FREE- thanks to the generous support of Jewish Family Services of
Greater Hartford, a non-sectarian agency) have helped more than 1,000-1,500
people land jobs. This equates to a success rate at 33%-50%. Great track
record!

Last week, Judy and her team at JETS/Schmoozers were invited to speak
before the Connecticut General Assembly. The Legislative Program Review and
Investigation Committee was tapping into community leaders and local
experts to better understand the facts and challenges related to
unemployment issues and getting people back to work. Judy and her team at
JETS/Schmoozers prepared a paper and a three minute presentation
entitled *"Employment
Barriers Facing Unemployed Workers 50 Plus: In Search of a Second Act."*

- With their permission, I am pleased to share some of their insights,
along with a download of their 17-page report: *Employment Barriers
Facing Unemployed Workers 50 Plus – Testimony – October 3,
2013<http://wl1.peer360.com/b/9a6bzFFlYw2p0XUgjXAS/mle.asp?hl=63029571&r=BDECDJFD&CID=326772>

*Ellen's story*

Ellen Cartledge<http://wl1.peer360.com/b/9a6bzFFlYw2p0XUgjXAS/mle.asp?hl=63029571&r=BDECDJFD&CID=326773>is
one of those amazing professional women who can serve many clients
simultaneously, keep many plates spinning, manage on a zero budget, smile
and enjoy her work, all without breaking a sweat. And yes, Ellen is a 50
plus seasoned professional.

I was shocked, but not surprised, to read her personal story in the
testimony that she gave to the Connecticut General Assembly on October 3,
2013.

"When I was told over the phone that I had the perfect credentials and
experiences for a certain job, I was invited to interview. I will never
forget the look of horror and disappointment on the interviewer's face, who
was most likely in her 30′s, when she saw me in person and decided that I
was "older." Mind you, I was in my fifties at the time."

Ellen's experiences are reflective of those of so many older workers. She
had the perfect resume to get the job done, but a date of birth that
quietly disqualified her from hiring consideration. Crazy, isn't it?

*Misconceptions about the 50 plus worker*
*(Excerpts from the JFS testimonial document – shown with quotation marks)*

"Various forms of explicit and implicit discrimination still exist and
continue to influence the hiring and managing decisions of some employers.
Without a doubt, there is definite age discrimination among today's
employers."

"Employers more than not, practice, albeit quietly, discriminatory hiring
practices when it comes to employing those persons 50 plus. Often, we also
see it with folks in their late 40′s. When a 50 plus person is invited to
interview, here are some of the barriers they face:"

1. "Many times interviewers are younger than those they interview and
frown upon the perception of an "older person" in terms of energy, skills,
adaptability with their culture and the 'millennial' group. They are
perceived as being less interested in new technology and social media; less
creative; less trainable; less productive; less physically able; and
reluctant to travel."
2. "Older workers are viewed as creatures of habit, lacking flexibility
and the ability to change; they are (perceived) as flight risks in terms of
past salary and job title history."
3. "The observation is that the older worker will take just any job, and
say it does not matter, they just want to work, but in reality (there is
concern that the older worker will) be bored with the task at hand. Not all
job seekers expect the same salary and job title, or even want to work at
the same high level jobs they held in the past. (Older workers are often)
viewed as lacking both motivation and interest in becoming part of the
company's team."
4. "While older workers are remaining healthier longer and are willing
to work later in life, employers are concerned about older hires affecting
their insurance premiums as they may be more prone to illnesses and
absences."
5. Older workers often attempt to transition their skills into another
field. They will take courses, receive certifications and spend hard earned
money that most do not even have, due to unemployment. All to be told that
although they have furthered their skills, they do not have experience in
the specific area the employer is seeking. Now the older job seeker is out
both money and a job.

*What can older workers seeking employment do to improve their
marketability?*<http://wl1.peer360.com/b/9a6bzFFlYw2p0XUgjXAS/article.asp?MID=228034&hl=63029571&r=BDECDJFD>
