Candidate
Age: Older is Getting Younger
By:
RW Special Reports
|
|
You
hear it everyday. Businesses want to hire good people:
loyal, mature, responsible, trustworthy, driven,
creative. It would also be nice if the candidate
had the stability and wherewithal to stay in the
job for the long term. Sound like too much to ask?
Well, it really isn't. Great candidates not only
exist, they are also in ready supply. To find these
people, all you have to do is put those ageist stereotypes
aside and take a second look at today's over-50
workforce.
Despite
their experience, older workers are often passed
over in favor of candidates in their 20's and 30's.
There are laws in place to protect workers over
40 against age discrimination, but ageism still
happens. The reason? Employers are often looking
for workers with "energy and drive" coupled with
a long career horizon. Candidates over 50 suffer
from the misperception that they are winding down
their careers and aren't motivated to work hard.
Hiring companies also question how long they'll
stick around. They worry that an "experienced" employee
won't stay more than a few years.
