Ageism!!!

On the programme a dad who was highly qualified as an accountant and his daughter who had not even qualified sent their CV's off to some recruitment agencies. In the dads case there was no acknowledgement yet the recruitment agencies were sending staff out to meet the daughter. Crazy if you ask me.

I was turned down for ajob in October, it was between me and a graduate fresh from uni. I lost out because in the words of the employer ' he showed more enthusiasm'. Well what a suprise, I bet he has a brown tongue as well :rolleyes:

I realised ageism was going to be the biggest barrier I was going to face so decided to work for the grumpiest meanest boss in the world, but at least I can look him in the face and call him all the swear words under the sun every morning :D.

Could this be put down to aptitude as opposed to attitude?

Since I joined AccyWeb I don't have a problem ... I will for ever be under 18 :tongueout And I will always be the youngest diry old man on the planet:theband:

And there are the undoubted advantages of being older: unlimited free debit transactions at my bank, supermarket staff who will carry your stuff to the car, and I do believe that the local whorehouse (ooops, Escort Service) offers a seniors' discount ... all kinds of neat things. And with the world going to hell in a hand basket, who would really want to stick around for much longer anyhow.;) Old Farts Rule:mosher::mosher::mosher:

Never heard of that one ... of course, as Einstein observed, time is money. I see in this a thread for the boys: like "1000 Reasons Why Hookers Are Better Than Girlfriends":theband: .... (and probably less costly in the long run);)
