Mature age job seekers have battles looking for work.After looking for work and sending off many applications for positions in the last 4 months it is easy to see now why even the young give up.It is either age or experience against you.They want young but lots of experience.Another thing that is annoying and have heard this from the young job seeker.They dont reply to your enquiry for work or even let you know a Job has been filled most of the time.So rude.

I looked for work in 2011, till June 2012. Then took up and finished Cert 3 in Library. Then became a fulltime student again in 2013. And I will be finishing my diploma partime this semester while I look for work.
No luck so far had one job interview for positions with the store Target in the Sydney metro area. Out of 45 applications so far this year!!!!
I have a degree and also a cert 3 in Library and also years of experience in retail where does it get you no where but I will never give up as I am 51 you have tobe persistant.
