How did you do it? Did you retrain?
I'm 53 and feel like I'm on the scrapheap already after yet another job rejection. I've got a solid 30 years experience in my field yet I always seem to be pipped at the post for the jobs that I go for. I think age is definitely a factor.
When I first started out, workplaces seemed to have a very diverse range of ages. But glancing round the offices I've visited for interviews, the vast majority of employees seemed to be in the 20-40 age bracket so I clearly no longer tick that particular box.
If you've faced a similar situation and managed to change direction later on in life I'd love to hear what you did.
