Description
#5516. Job seekers over 50 are confronted by obstacles. Many employers perceive that older job seekers lack energy, motivation, and adaptability. Younger hiring managers may be reluctant to hire an employee many years older than them, and some firms may even discriminate due to perceived health issues that would cause the companys insurance premiums to increase. In short, older job seekers face hidden discrimination that makes job seeking even more difficult than it already is.
Fortunately, this new 3-program video series, sold on a single DVD, will assist those job seekers in overcoming the additional barriers they have, and get a good job quickly.
While these videos do not need to be shown sequentially, the best impact is for job seekers to view all three. The series can be used in group workshops or job clubs; to supplement a job search or work prep curriculum; or for individual study and research.
Each program is 15-20 minutes in length. April 2015. SPECIAL: $337.50 for the 3-program series on a single DVD. Can purchase separately at $125.00 per DVD.
