Are you over the hill at 55 ??

Whats the general consensus here

I work for the Govt and I've been going for some higher level jobs (i've held higher level acting position is the past) I get to the interview stage and then the position goes to a younger far less experienced IMO person

On one I went for recently only two people including myself got through to the interview stage and yet a person

half my age (fact)
half my expereince (fact)
far less qualified (fact)
who works in the same area as I for the same length of time, and until 12 months ago at the same level until he was given a a higher level acting role
who is known on occcassions to be lazy and unreliable


got the position

now the only things I could put it down to

were that

he'd do as led
he's likeable

now in the Govt you can't contest the outcome based on the appointed person only on the process

Is this me being paranoid or are you hindered by your age???
