Age discrimination in the job hunt -

Age discrimination in the job hunt - Ive been thinking a lot about age discrimination facing job hunters. I plan to do a series of posts on the topic and have been collecting links and resources. There is certainly no shortage of information. (If you are an expert on the subject, or a job seeker with a personal experience or story to share, be sure to contact me!) When I started to think about this topic, I remembered a blog that Marci Alboher wrote that described a job hunter, Lisa Johnson Mandell. Lisa was profiled on the Today Show because she had transformed her image as a 49-year old over-the-hill job seeker (in her industry entertainment) by taking advantage of online resources and re-making her image to seem more hip. I was intrigued by the story at the time and wrote a blog responding to the topic. (In a funny coincidence, Marci Alboher, author of the book, One Person/Multiple Careers: A New Model for Work/Life Success, is now a senior fellow for Civic Ventures, an organization dedicated to helping people reinvent themselves with encore careers. Ive recommended their GUIDE for boomers (and anyone) who hopes to reinvent their careers in favor of doing something in the nonprofit world and/or the public sector.) In doing some digging, I found out that Lisa actually has a book out now on the subject of remaking yourself for the job hunt Career Comeback. In it, she talks about everything from appearance to attitude as they relate to overcoming age discrimination in your job hunt. I just received my copy of Lisas book today, so I was inspired to share the post I originally wrote in July 2008 on the topic of ageism on the job hunt. I think it is just as topical (if not more so) today! Here is a version of that post You thought social media was for the “kids?” Blogging, Twitter, Facebook…You don’t have time to engage online with a bunch of people â€" you’re busy with your job hunt! Think again! If you haven’t looked for a job in a while and/or aren’t tuned in to managing your “digital footprint” â€" what comes up when someone “Googles” your name â€" it’s time for a quick lesson in social media. The long and the short of it is this: an online presence is key to how people will perceive you. Especially if you are in a “young” industry that discriminates against workers over 40, appearing connected to new ways of presenting yourself (your brand, as it were), may help you open doors that seemed closed. Take the story of a 49-year old entertainment reporter (as reported in Marci Albohers blog) who remade her image by freshening up her appearance and wardrobe and creating a hip online presence that made her seem younger than would belie her 20 years of industry experience. She hired people to help her, which is a great idea, but Marci points out that asking fashion conscious friends and teenagers (your children or others’) for advice and information about trends and technology is another option. The key factor is, no matter how much experience you have, it is important to keep up with what is going on in today’s job market. Video resumes, Wikis, video conferencing, podcasts…Job seekers should be aware of these technologies and willing to use them! Be resourceful and aware â€" you may be surprised to learn that Web 2.0 tools can be a lot of fun and helpful beyond networking and job seeking.

Trumps 100 Days 5 Teachers Grade the Presidents Performance

Trump's 100 Days 5 Teachers Grade the President's Performance During the 2016 election, elementary, middle and high school teachers from across the United States said it was very difficult to remove politics from the classroom. And things haven’t gotten much better. Teachers now say it can be challenging in a time of “alternative facts” to teach students to distinguish truth. Science teachers, who feel under attack as part of a larger war on science, feel they must continue to cite data on climate change even if the administration disagrees. Still, their colleagues are excited by the possibility a Trump administration could disrupt public education for the better. Perhaps the biggest controversy in this area during Trump’s first 100 days in office came with his appointment of Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education, a billionaire with no experience in the public school system. MONEY spoke with five different teachers across the U.S. and asked them to grade the president’s performance. Below are their answers. Name: Adrian Brooks Age: 33 Title: English Teacher at Bronx High School for Law and Community Service in Harlem, NY Grade: C- Voted For: Clinton “I gave him a C- because he’s come through for a few or some of his constituents, but he hasn’t completed the entire assignment. I feel like the assignment was to be suddenly Presidential for the whole country. I thought maybe, being that so many of his constituents come from poorer or middle class backgrounds, he would have crafted polices out of a fear that they would hold him accountable. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. He doesn’t even seem to care about that demographic. I think the part of the assignment that he did complete, is the business deregulation, the attempts to roll back the EPA, the attempts to bolster the military budget, but we saw that coming. He made sure to cover himself, and I think that is why the grade is a C- minus. He’s done just enough, to say I did a few things.” Name: Danny Kofke Age: 41 Title: 6th Grade Teacher in Hoschton, Georgia Grade: C Voted for: Trump “I think things were what we expected them to be. We knew that he was going to overhaul health care, and obviously, that didn’t go through. We knew with the Supreme Court he was going to put a conservative person in there. My thing was that we had to grow the economy, and I do feel like it’s heading in the right direction. I know there is a new Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos, and there are teachers at my school who were worried because she had never been in public school. But education is so big that systematic changes affecting the entire country, would be way, way, down the pike. I am still going to school and teaching the kids, and that’s my job, and so I try not to worry about all the other stuff. My take is it really doesn’t matter who the President is. When it comes to money, if you do what you are supposed to do, and you budget, and spend less than you earn, you are going to be ok. Unfortunately, a lot of people get so caught up in the idea that whoever gets elected is going to change their lives, but I feel you are in charge of your own success.” Rebecca Kurson Age: 47 Title: PreK to 5th Grade Science Teacher at a Private Jewish Day School in NJ Grade: B Voted for: Trump “I almost feel like it is one of those things where there is not enough information. Some things I am really excited about and other things I am a little more worried about or skeptical. I am excited about a stronger, tougher stand in foreign policy. I think, like a lot of people, I have been sickened and horrified by what I see in Syria, and have thought that a stronger hand is probably a better response. When I became a teacher, I had to do a lot of observations, and I saw a lot of public school teachers with the curriculum that was being shoved down their throats. They really hated it. And that was about 9 years ago, and nothing has really changed. I am hoping because we have a brand-new person, who if nothing, has to be very open minded about the idea that everything can be changed and nothing is a sacred cow that can’t be touched.” Dan Hochman Age: 46 Title: High School Environmental science teacher in Galveston, Texas Grade: F Voted for: Clinton “He gets a solid F. In terms of education, Betsy DeVos is probably the worst human being possible to be in charge of the education department, and they really are the enemy of public education. Politics definitely comes up in the classroom, especially in an environmental class. My class is very politically sensitive. These are upper level kids, so I don’t have any problem putting curriculum on hold and having an open discussion with them. It is really important for them to see all sides. A lot of times they just repeat what their parents have told them. And they don’t really have all the facts. I have told my students over and over again that we are marching very quickly into a time of a war on science and I honestly do not understand where it is coming from. I do not understand why people are scared of science. All of a sudden science is evil like we are back in the Middle Ages again.” Name: Nicole Devereaux Age: 26 Title: 8th grade social studies teacher in Albuquerque, NM. Grade: F Voted For: Clinton “He is failing badly, I’d give him an F. First of all, his pick for Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is someone I would never want in charge of a school, much less a classroom. Also, it is hard to show my students here is what the Constitution says, and here is what happened instead.   For example, with the nomination to the Supreme Court we had to go over how the Constitution provides for the different powers of government, and why we didn’t already have a ninth justice even though Antonin Scalia died a year ago, and what it meant for the nuclear option to be pulled. The same week, we launched our attack on Syria, and we had to go over the question of whether the President has the power to declare war. And the way that Trump, and Kellyanne Conway, and Sean Spicer react to the media spreading fake news, it makes it very hard to distinguish what they are saying, versus what is actually happening without getting political. Because if I directly oppose the president it’s a political act, even though I am trying to give my students a sense of what is truth, and how do you determine truth.”

A Reddit Post on No One Believing Women Who Dont Want Kids Went Viral

A Reddit Post on No One Believing Women Who Dont Want Kids Went Viral Some women are childless by circumstance, but evermore are childless by choice. And recent reportsindicate that this trend shows no sign of reversing rather the number of women without children is anticipated to rise. Just nine percent of women born in 1946 had no children, whereas National data suggests that 15 percent of women and 24 percent of men hit 40 without havingkids, and one in five women enter menopause without children, according to another study. But its not a generational thing. According to theCassandra Report Ages and Stages, one-third ofmillennials dont want to be mothers, either. Thirty-four percent of them dont want to give up their flexibility, while 32 percent dont want to take on the responsibility. In fact, 2016 bevlkerung data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention found that the number of births fell one percent from the year prior, bringing the general fertility rate to 62 birt hs per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44 (the lowest its ever been) and that trend has been driven by a decline in birthrates for teens and 20-somethings.Of course, there are circumstantial reasons as to why women arent having babies, too. On top of not wanting to give up flexibility or take on the responsibility of children, women are entering the workforce in larger-than-ever numbers, and millennials especially are faced with burgeoning debt coupled with rising costs of living. A recent Healthline study finds that over half of millennial women and men are delaying parenthood for career security and financial reasons, but theyre also not aware of the odds of conception challenges and the cost impact of postponing parenthood. Just 32 percent of millennials are aware that half of the population over the age of 35 will need medical intervention to have a baby, and theres no guarantee that it will be successful, according to Sexual Health Magazine.Other women just dont see children in their f utures, and not having children was never much of a decision or choice, anyway. But society hasnt yet accepted that, as illustrated in a recent sub-Reddit. 31 f here, have a career, a car, own property. Anti-monogamy, so I date around (women and men). Why is it that when men proudly state that they dont want kids, its all congratulations and claps on the back, but for women its Youll change your mind someday. I get this from family, from friends, from strangers. The notion that men can know themselves while women are just sitting around waiting for their minds to change is sexist, misogynist nonsense. (And, no, anecdotes about your one friend who did change her mind arent compelling or convincing.)Most commenters agreed with her. One wrote Military wife, and CF, you would not believe the bingos I get for it. Apparently, youmust have children if your spouse is active duty. Whats the point in even living on kusine without children? That house could have gone to someone thatneeded it. Oh the dog has his own room? What about when you have children? Where will they go if the dog has a room? You drive a coupe? Where will you put the car seat?Another shared Somebody (a man) asked me just yesterday when I was having a baby yet. I asked him why he is always asking me this and he said because its time. Im 25 and Im trying to get my own life together let alone a helpless being. Its annoying and it makes me feel under pressure to decide if and when I want kids before its too late. It does seem to only be people who have kids themselves who ask you things like this Youre not alone if finding this attitude annoying.One woman wrote Im one of those who has never wanted kids, ever. I got sterilized in my early 30s. I dont have a maternal bone in my body and never have. There are plenty of other humans who are ready and willing to keep this planet populated. They dont need me to contribute. Its not like the human species is in danger of dying out or anything.The Reddit poster later thanked commenters who understood her, but acknowledgedhow theamount of resistance in the comments, although relatively small,was frustrating and really highlighted how some folks, men and women, cant wait to shut women down...See, this whole I knew a woman who changed her mind so its okay to assume thats going to be the case for all women is nonsense, she wrote. Women are not a monolith. I will literally never have kids.Though ever more women are deciding not to have children, society as a whole still expects them to.My ex friend (child free) was interviewing for medical school and, during her interview she was asked, What is your plan (career-wise) when you have kids? one Reddit computer-nutzer commented on the sub-Reddit. Not if. When. Ignoring, of course, the complete ludicrousness of the question to begin with, surprisingly when she asked her male peers after she got in if they were asked about their having children preferences, not a single one said they were asked that question.Hopefully, as the language surrounding these lifestyle choices starts to change, as will attitudes.Social scientists once referred to everyone who didnt procreate as childless, which can indicate that theyd tried and failed to make babies. Now, however, theyve mostly shifted to use the term child-free, which gives women more credit for choosing not to have children.--AnnaMarie Houlis is a multimedia journalist and an adventure aficionado with a keen cultural curiosity and an affinity for solotravel.
