I'm over 50 with a masters degree and a wealth of experience. I was made redundant last year. I've had interviews - the interviewers are my age and women and I seem to get on well with them but I'm never offered the job. They always go with younger, less qualified applicants.
Do they see me as a threat? I'm not especially pushy, but I'm quietly confident in my skills. My son has also been job hunting in the same sector. He's in his thirties. He says he benefits from being interviewed by middle aged women because they 'love him'. He's just been offered a new job.
Are woman my age perpetuating the ageism?
