Work age ‘still an issue’
MOST older people have felt discriminated against by a prospective employer because of their age, a study shows.
Research by totaljobs revealed few 55 to 64-year-olds believed their age was an advantage when applying for a job. A survey of 700 in the age group found two-thirds raised age discrimination even though they spent more time preparing for an interview than younger candidates.
