Do I Have A Chance

By alex_bluee August 07, 2020 7 answers Last updated August 07, 2020

Hello! I am a woman, almost 50 years old, neat, modern, good looking. My question is addressed to all who would like to express an opinion and have some position of thinking on the issue. I've been changing a lot of jobs for a few years now, and the only thing I liked and was well paid was, to my great regret, I was laid off from this job, although I was doing great, but the staffs closed and I was from people who rely only on their own skills and qualities, not on connections. Then I came across unfair employers, they didn't pay salaries on time, they worked cold, and others didn't want to make a contract for me. I left all of them after I found out what games they were playing. But I kept looking, and I kept looking, hoping that I would be lucky enough to be in the right place. And I'm almost out of a job, I always find something, even though all my jobs are from a different field of activity. I don't know if there is someone like me, but every time I left in the hope of a new job, learned the job, worked well and diligently, but at one point I found something I didn't like, and who would like it, for example to be told that this month there will be no salaries, and the next. Next month they throw you 50 leva and tell you again that there is no money for salaries, you will have to take in the future. Here are such misfortunes, disorders and injustices. I'm leaving too. I can go on like this for a long time, but I started to like it. Now I have been unemployed again for 20 days and I am looking for a job, until 2-3 days ago, when my son accidentally stared at me with a statement that I despaired of. He told me-Eh mom, why are you throwing yourself to walk, to push such hard work, to look for pay and other extras, and keep in mind that no one looks at you, that you can work as a younger person can, and the attitude is always different. It struck me and landed, and my hopes vanished. Because I have energy, I am hardworking, I would do anything to work well and at the level of an employer who values ​​his people and thus respects their merits.

Tell me, do I have a chance to meet one, would I hire a woman almost 50 years old, would I look at her seriously and with respect, as a full-fledged man-worker, employee. I'm from a big city. I would very much like to know the opinion of more people, if there are employers, too. Because before me, life and health, there are many more years that I have to work. Thanks for your time and attention! as a younger person can, and the attitude is always different. It struck me and landed, and my hopes vanished.

   Much depends on the employer. If you think you have the right qualifications, age should not be such a problem. Not to mention that many young people cannot find a job because they do not have experience and experience.

   I think I would trust a person like you! Do not give up! Sometimes young people at the age of 28 are not serious ... I also found it difficult to find a job despite my youth. Our generation wants experience and experience, so it's still not easy. But with perseverance I found the desired job. And you will succeed! You seem to me a responsible person, and as I said, you will have both experience and experience ... this is your advantage over young people. There is no way for Bulgarian employers not to hire people aged 50 and over after the retirement age has risen and a separate Bulgarian population is aging ... Dare and good luck! From a big city you do not give up, something will come out for you. I love to say that there is a destiny and everything happens because it has to happen !!!!

   the question is quite general. depends on what field you are looking for a job. for example, if you are an accountant, I would prefer you to someone who is now a graduate, because you will have experience. if it's a programmer, I wouldn't take you because I don't believe you're up to date with technology, it's changing so fast. from what I have written I conclude that you do not have a certain qualification or at least you do not work in your specialty, but you change industries in order to work at all (I do not blame you, I just state the facts). this lowers your "quality" in the eyes of employers, allows them not to pay you because you are easily replaceable. to your question: you can, of course, if you are a conscientious employee, you will find an employer who will evaluate you. Success! F43

   I will express my opinion on behalf of an employer - I am fed up with young, uneducated, almost children, without a gram of work culture, habits and discipline. Unfortunately, my job is such that we need high computer literacy and other skills that only young people have. But knowing how irresponsible, impudent and rude they are, I just wonder what will happen in 10-20 years ...

   Here are the hypocritical comments again, and the woman sees the reality with her own eyes. That's right, as you say, unless you're a very narrow specialist and difficult to replace as someone mentions. Young people are preferred for other jobs, but no one has said they are paid and treated better. Without connections, everyone is for nowhere. In addition, young people have more language skills and computer literacy for unskilled jobs, some have good looks and more energy. However, for promising jobs, they are also discriminated against, as they are occupied only by close people.

   If you are from a big city, you have a certain chance, although even in Sofia most employers, when they hear that you are almost 50, will send you away without even bothering to read your CV. You just don't know whether to laugh or cry anymore, but a large percentage of employers in Bulgaria don't know what they want. I had a lot of fun with ads like, "we're looking for a person for ... a position up to 30 years, with 15 years of experience!" And he can't even understand that he wants almost impossible things. Because it is not clear to me how this 15-year experience can be gained by a person under 30 years of age. As far as I know, elementary school does not count as an internship. So I don't know what to advise you except to be persistent and hopefully you will finally come across normal people who will appreciate you as a professional, and not on the basis of PIN. Success!

   No, you don't have much of a chance. And I'm in this hall. I sent my vita to many places, but no one invited me for an interview. What can we say, young people are out of work, then what work is left for us. Except to put up with the lowest and lowest paid. You only go to good jobs with connections. It's as if you're going to beg, not look for a job. The situation is complicated and humiliating, what recognition are you looking for. People's value system has changed. They look at you like an alien, and behind your back - I don't even want to think about it ...
