Again, a late post. | Home | Gray Matters international!
So you’re over 40 and unemployed.
Sorry, I just did not feel like posting any thing till, well today. Well to bring us up to speed, I finish the patio and my wife is happy with it. My daily thing since 14th to Friday the 18th, has been, out side work in the AM till it gets too hot and then job search, job search and work on my group “Gray Matters!” in the networking site LinkedIn. Speaking of which here is two of my latest articles, I have posted.
 
   Your job hunt is coming up empty. No one seems to want to return you emails on a job. Your resumes seem to be going into an internet black hole. We know what you’re going thru. Join us at the “Gray Matters!” group. Where we will help each other, support each other and we will get our message out that just because we are older DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE OUT OF TOUCH OR OVER THE HILL.
 
   Gray Matters, a group for and by the over 40.   I started this group after noting that our voice was not being heard or noted, in the matter of getting jobs. I grew tired of what seem to companies Human Resources passing over my resume, with out a reply.   At first I though it was just me but, soon found there was more out there with the same problem. Which seem to be they were over the age of 40 and could not seem to find work, no matter what their qualifications were and believe me some had qualifications that made me look like entry level.   One of my former bosses informed me that he had been out of work for over year and half.   Now he was senior IT VP and he could not find work.   At first I though good I am not alone then, wait a minute what is going on here. So I started “Gray Matters!” At first we just sent an email to the White House, each Monday (and we still do that) on the lack of jobs for us but, now my main focus is to help my fellow over qualified job seekers.   We have in the group Job Search Coaches, recruiters and news sources for the over 40 crew.   We also have a under use JOB section. Which I urge you to post any jobs you come arross that you think some one in our group could do. I also urge you to post news and helps here too.   I don’t know about you but, I AM NOT OVER THE HILL, I AM ON TOP OF THE HILL

Here we've got another problem. There are young people who are not hired because they're too young and don't possess necessary experience. And you are "too old" and that's why don't succeed in your job search. This is really a country of contrasts!
