Am I too old for my job

[whatisforteamum]

Mid 50s and a year ago traded my lovely job to a more sociable hrs one.
I thought 60 hour weeks were too much and I was occasionally making mistakes.
Started colleagues didn't like me customers did so I focused on that.
It took a toll on my MH being gossiped about daily,criticism too just awful.
So I co concentrated on doing stuff to raise my profile and gain support from higher ups.
I've had so many recruiters contact me with work that I followed one up that was below my pay grade and I didn't get it.
It was an entry level job and I was curious.
Now my self esteem is low.
Am I too old for my job.
It is my passion so I hope not.

Don't make negative assumptions.

I didn't get a job that was below my pay grade and the recruiter fed back that they ultimately thought I was over qualified for the position and would therefore undoubtedly get bored quickly and leave for something more suitable.

It is awful process job hunting. There are so many factors at play and you can never really know what's going on behind the scenes.

Make sure your CV is the best it can be, tailor it to individual roles (chat GPT can help with this - but do tweak the results).

Best of luck!
