AOL then AWOL

My Forbes.com article was picked up by AOL and put on their home page this week - I greatly appreciate all of the emails I have recieved about it... I will respond to every one of them, so sorry for the delay, I am working on them every chance I get. Thanks.

I am working on my next articles now - as always, I'd welcome your input for story suggestions. Also, if you've ever filed an age discrimination suit and want to discuss it for an upcoming article, please let me know.

Please check out our site -we've added hundreds of new jobs this week - including jobs at Hartford Hospital, Allstate, KPMG, Firstcard Merchant Services, and many more...

Best,
Steven

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.

Steven
