Darien Professionals - Tuesday night

I am looking forward to meeting job seekers in the Fairfield County, Ct area tomorrow night (Tuesday) at the Darien Professionals Networking group, 7:30 PM at the Darien public library. I have heard a number of good things about this particular group, come by if you have a chance and find out what other job seekers over 40 are up to. And I know that meeting you will help Jobs4.0 do its job better...Thanks.

Also, that we can help ‘move the needle’ by leveraging our experience by focusing our messages on what we CAN DO for employers.; January 31, 2007 at 9:35 AM

About Jobs4.0 (www.jobs4point0.com)

Jobs4.0 is the leading source of job opportunities for candidates 40 and over. Jobs4.0 means real jobs at great companies that value diversity of experience; we work only with select companies that embrace the unique benefits that experienced workers can provide.

Jobs4.0 (http://www.jobs4point0.com/) was founded to provide job seekers over 40 with a place to find desirable jobs at prominent companies that demonstrate a commitment to hiring experienced workers.

I was a recruiter for over 14 years for major employers all across the country. During that time I routinely observed the subtle and sometimes not so subtle bias that far too many employers have against so called 'older' workers. Like all discrimination, ageism is illogical and hurtful. An HR manager's refusal to interview a 42 or 47 or 52 year old candidate with great skills not only harms that candidate and his family but it also is damaging to the HR manager's company. Everybody loses.

Jobs4.0 is working to alter the dynamic of over 40 workers feeling defensive about their age, their years of experience and their graduation dates. This blog will help us keep you up to date on our efforts, and will also let you share your thoughts and experiences about being over 40 and looking for a job.I look forward to hearing from you, and I'll post the most relevant messages that we receive.

Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.
