It\u2019s a well-known stigma \u2013 getting a good job when you get older can be challenging. The positions you\u2019d thrive in are more few and far between that they were when you were 30 and some employers are worried about bringing on more experienced staff.<\/p>\n

But whether you\u2019re looking for a job or you\u2019re in the business of hiring, it\u2019s time to ask yourself: What\u2019s the real reason companies don\u2019t want to hire older employees?<\/p>\n

Are you ready to strip off the excuses and hire that person who deserves the job?
