tarni if it makes you feel any better.. When Im looking to fill a position Age has no bearing on it. As long as the salary doesnt go over what I am willing to pay. I have hired 2 woman in the past that were over the age of 50, and 3 men over 50. All did a great jobs .
1. (no offense here) but they are old school. They understand more about a days pay and responsibility for there job. I get less calls form a matured person saying "they cant make it in" then our younger employee's. They understand busy seasons, and never ask me "can I take vacations" during it. I have never had an older employee take off when we had scheduled days of not being in, when they are needed the most. (Cant come in at docs Have a fever, come in after being out Monday-Thursday Show up Friday on pay day with a tan lines, and cant produce a doctors note) They always come in on pay day lol

Be positive! Saying a prayer you find a position that values your experiance and knowledge with the financial situation to bring you in at a higher salary!
