- This Skill Boosters drama scenario addresses age discrimination in recruitment and selection. It explores the assumption that age will automatically preclude a candidate from being suitable. It also examines a character’s reluctance to manage an older employee, and the assumption that training older people is not worth the investment. This section also includes a good practice approach to a job interview.

As a 40+ person with high education and many years work experience I have gone through these interviews. These days I have my own company.
If you're just out of college, they say you don't have enough experience, but if you're over 50, they say you're too old.
Fantastic & informative video on ageism - thank you so much!
Harvard Business Review has a recent article on hiring older candidates is important, variety, for a healthy robust team.
Some people fear and hate those who are different from them. This fear and hate towards those who are different from oneself is often rooted in ignorance and lack of exposure to diverse cultures and perspectives. It is important to actively seek out opportunities to learn about and engage with people who are different from us in order to overcome these prejudices.
This is spot on and has happened to me twice now where I have lost out on jobs after making the third round of interviews on camera. The minute they see my face, or if I tell of how my past experiences may fit with their current situation, it's off. Once get over 50, it's over.
So true. If I had a Zoom interview, I would never get a second interview because of my age.
its sad. after a layoff I qualified for free career training paid by the Federal government. I was also able to get unemployment so I didn't have to work. after training couldn't get a job anywhere because of age discrimination. so that's $50,000 of tax payer money down the drain. I know there has to be thousands if not millions that had the same experience
I've been living this for the last 6 months. Reverse discrimination is at epidemic proportions.
It would be interesting to see her trying to get a job in five years.
That's the beauty of someone who participates in age discrimination in the corporate world--it will happen to them some day. Talk about boomerang karma.
A major part of this issue is company failure to effectively do succession planning or ensure that older applicants with more experience get these leadership jobs.
Spot on. Women punish other women for aging. I also say that job interviews are like dating. I got multiple corporate/agency job offers up to my late 30s. HR hire for youth/beauty, not talent. The tone of the job interviews is completely different after 40. You are treated with contempt and condescension.
So true and this has been my experience. I live and work in a city where beauty and youth is demanded and ageing is a vile crime worthy of death. I've given up on it all today. Unemployment till death now. Yay.
"it'll be up to you to make sure he does. " that's the problem, they do not want to endorse the responsibility !
@rocky mountain lass Yes,but Sarah is just a reflection of what happens in real life.
Agreed. Amazing how many excuses they come up with to the contrary.
Young people need to work with old people, a great, great opportunity.
As a Gen Zer, I agree and have done this with my experiences to gain education on how to equip myself to get back up when in failure.
Call me sexist but from my experiences the only individuals that l have came across stating " over qualified" are women . Men are more simple minded "can this person do the job? - yes or no" and/or does the job candidate is happy to "work with a certain salary expectation level". Women tend to focus "deeper" concerns rather then the ability to to the job. In the end of the day if a job candidate took "time and effort" to apply for a job that should be respected as a serious intention to have a career with the company.
Uhm, yours is also a type of bias, I've seen ageism coming from men often too....
Pushed out my job at 57 and gave up at 60. I have enough money to live comfortably with my wife and 2 autistic sons.nobody will even give me a interview.college educated and have medical license and 35 years experience
very well made video, good acting! excellent content!
Perhaps Sarah is not cut out for management.
Skills, imagination,vision,talent determination,willingness to learn as well as experience are the most important assets that i would be guided by.The most important thing is whether someone can do the same to replace You. Determination and discipline 👍Appearance and age are an individual matter, because it does not matter when it comes to skills.
Good luck for all 👍
Great respect from 🕊️🇵🇱🤝
#STOP discrimination 🔴✋❗
Be good future 🟢👍
Second half is good interview tips!
If that man found out the name of the company and found out there was a silly upper age limit and if he created a petition to have the maximum age limit to be elevated to a super high number, I sure would be happy to sign it.
59.5 years old, me.
Sarah is a tough cookie
Sadly these are the first line you have to pass in the workforce 👎🏼👎🏼
providing you even get called for an interview after you apply on line
Really, they ask, won't you get bored? What kind of a question is that to ask?
In real life they may not ask it,but they will still think it...
@@pepiluci75 Not only that it's a stupid question. Everyone gets bored. Nobody really has a position they are always passionate about. It's called real life.
@@jaronmartin5758 could not agree more with you
Every working organisation have "peaks" and "troths". There are people who worked in the military in Afghanistan that had periods of boredom.
age discrimination is not about any of that employers want long term employees not someone who will retire in the next few years that is the stereotype that is causing this
I thought age discrimination was illegal.
Sarah should revaluate her SWOT analysis. Her opinion is built on what she deemed as a "threat" to hers not the company!.
Hiring managers should look at positives and negatives on each job candidates - she however just focused on negatives on this candidate. she seriously needs re-training.
Her performance in this interview was very unprofessional! She wasn't carrying out an interview it was a character assassination.
Fire her and replace with him. That in a manager is not conducive to big profits.
This is the entire job market in NZ. They even ask you on job applications.
7 years away from pension credit.
Just employ the man ffs!
The moment they see any grey hair they run a mile.
Got canned today because I dared to challenge my employers view of my worth. Guess I was right about how little my presence was valued. Over 50 of course. Hated the fact I had to dye my grey hair brown so I could even get an interview. What a waste of dye. Am sick of this sh*t.
That gal is giving him a hard time.
Yikes!
Senators are 80 years olds lmao
job interviews are horrible, they make you feel like a prostitute.
