Over 50 ?

Since finishing my business up in Scotland I have been re-settling back in my native Yorkshire. Recently started to look for a job utilising all my skills and experience gained in my profession over the years.

I have been amazed and disappointed that the lack of enthusiasm shown to me upon my applications by prospective employers so far. I honestly thought they would have been queuing up outside my door once they knew my background and what I have to offer, but no , I have tried over a dozen companies so far.

I know that deep down what the reason is. I am 55 years old. NO other reason can be viable. It's unfortunately true what they say that anyone over 5o years old might as well forget getting a job in todays market.
