Women over 50 are invisible?

I've heard this a few times and terrified, realizing it may be true. Has anyone seen this? do you agree?

I consider myself fairly fortunate. I'm a psychiatric social worker where experience is valued. I will be 58 in a couple of days (!) and I was hired for my last position when I was 54. Although as part of our job requirement we are required to have a master's degree, in general most social workers remain grossly underpaid for the work we do. We do this work because we love it.

I haven't found this to be the case in job search or career advancement. I think you see what you're looking for. If you are focused on opportunities and connecting, there is plenty to do after 50!

Thank you Magdalena! I'll follow her. I do agree RebeccaF. In some countries is worse than others.

You should follow some of the work Jo Weech is doing and speaking about age discrimination, which I think really is important .

You're invited.
