Guest Middle-Aged Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I saw a job advertisement which I like and it is my dream job. So I decided to check out on their website, they have 100+ staffs, all very young. I didn't spot any middel-age guy or lady in there. Every photos showcased the youthful staffs on holiday, in office, birthday party and in fun working environment. A sudden rush of dissappointment filled my heart, even the boss is young too. I am certain, there won't be any chance for a middle age man like me. Should I give up and don't waste time writing up resume for this job only to be thrown into their rubbish bin?

Kimochi Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Maybe they need an experienced person to teach or guide them a thing or two , or maybe even your category is who they are looking for . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I got the opportunity for the interview, after the interview session the interviewer said will let me know after a week time, after I week I decided to follow up and call them, they said will let me know soon. After 3days they sent me an email and said that they regret...bla bla bla..so in this situation, should I call back and ask? Why reject me? Or how was my interview performance?

Don't call, quietly blacklist them in your heart. If you call, 10 out of 10 times they will lied to you saying they found someone more suitable, which in fact they haven't found anyone at all. You will know because they same advertisement will be posted again, again, again, again, again and again, than again, again......until the cow come home.
