Age prejudice is thriving in Adelaide. I take special pride when one of my older clients (>55) gets a job with our help.
There was a time people when people between 55-65, were retiring and cavorting on the beach or riding rickshaws in exotic locales.
Not anymore because they can’t download their super early or simply don’t have enough saved.
Below is a testimonial from Allen, one of our clients in Adelaide.
“Hi Malcolm, just a quick note to let you know that I have been offered a position as a warehouse and logistics officer with a small company at Hindmarsh. Since using the resume that you created for me, I have received 4x offers for interviews and I was offered this position today (I start next week). Thank you for all of your assistance, advice and professionalism – all of which came at what was a very stressful time for me. It was much appreciated.” Allen Stenson
Many people over 50 years of age ask me to write their resumes or give employment advice. Especially how to battle age prejudice.
For many, the long tail of the GFC and the Coronavirus are the last nails in the coffin for retiring early.
