Thank you - Found the transcript at the bottom of the Video Description - copied the text to notepad - and now have a great reference to make notes.
This video is so enlightening. I have such a big respect for Virginia and all of the maturely aged people in the workplace. ❤️
We do as well! Thank you for the feedback!😀
Hi Ms. Virginia,
Thank you for your inspiring video. You made me happy to work at the age around 58.
Thank you. 54 yrs.and just applied for a job that will require their extense computer program. I'm praying that they call me for interview and they won't regret their time invested on me. Thank you Virginia
You're welcome Angelique! Wishing you the best of luck.
Hello Virginia! I chose early retirement 5 years ago. I've done all kinds of exciting things during the 5 years. I would like to go back to work. How do I portray choosing retirement and now wanting to come back to work?
Great advice thanks Miss Virginia.
Thank you!
Nailed it! thanks
Virginia is the best! 💙

How about when they reject by looks.
Well done, Virginia! How did you land your job with Indeed?
So inspiring, thank you very much ! Very depressing to try finding a job at 58 with this agism stigma...
Any luck? I had had only three crappy job offers on Indeed. I see ageism as a real problem. I have been ghosted twice once they found out I was over 58.
What about mature workers with some sort of disability, but that can still work, that subject was not touched on here, any tips?
Does Indeed have free courses available on their app?
It's not the lack of jobs..its yhe fast paced environments 😢

I think there was supposed to be a link to a video on 12 online certifications. It's not there.
Hey Robin! The link is on the right top side of the video that pops up at 6:30. Here is that link for you! ua-cam.com/video/Ft8R1LuC1Xg/v-deo.html
Virginia what is your linkedin connection?

Watch out for scams
These tips are pointless because our resumes will never make it through the algorithms. Age discrimination is rampant and the laws in place have no teeth so employers know they can get away with it. Look at your own social media pages Indeed, do you see many people over the age of 45 represented? Yeah, I don't either.
It all boils down to just that one person that is doing the interviewing. If that interviewer looks at older people with preconceived notions, than that's it. It's a done deal. This needs to end now. The way to end ageism in the work place is to do what Affirmative Action did for African Americans - to prove the number of older people that are working for each company. This needs to happen now! When the world starts seeing the statistics with their own eyes, they'll see just how ageist we all are. We need to start proving ageism with cold hard facts, so that they have no choice but to hire us if we are qualified.
Intentions are good. The reality is kind of like when you go to a government office looking for resources. The office you go to will give you about 4-7 pamphlets about 'additional' resources and when you visit those they offer about 7-10 more pamphlets about additional resources and maybe even a phone number that you call that refers you to more resources. You never, ever, realize the actual resource. Good advice but not relevant.
Your site is very very discriminatory to mature job seekers. You are allowing people to make up irrelevant names for jobs.
