Reply #44: As so many have stated: YOU ARE NOT ALONE

I don't know if that provides any comfort ... but, it is not you. There is a definite bias against "older" workers.

I returned (or tried to) to the workforce at the age of 43 after ~ 12 years of stay at home motherhood. It took me a year and a half to secure a professional position (its not a great one, but its in my field). At 45 I feel I am slowly moving forward.

I wish you well.
