Never apologize for growing older and wanting to work

There are a lot of people and entities giving advice to people of a certain age looking for a new job; and one thing the pandemic has shown us is that a lot of people still need to and are trying to work.

Browsing though various articles such as:

?

·??????“Tips for Finding a Job After 50”

·??????“7 Tips for Getting a New Job in Your 50s”

·??????“Job Searching Over 50: 8 Secrets for Success”

?

I realize that a common theme throughout all, is that there is a sense that being over 50 is a negative somehow, and you need to diminish yourself and your experience in order to get someone to hire you.

?

Since when has experience become an impediment to finding work? Since when did we have to start apologizing and placating potential employers because we had the audacity grow older?

?

Employers need to start looking at things a different way because there is a lot of wasted talent out there becoming discouraged, simply because society only seems to value youth.
