Evening all
Lousy end to the day, hubby's had a phone call telling him he's not suitable for the job he started yesterday, he's gutted & so am I. He works so bloody hard & all he gets is another kick in the teeth.
It seems the agency were told not to send anyone over 50, it's taken them 2 days to work out how old he is.

Aren't there laws about that sort of thing? Are they allowed to not employ on grounds of age?

I would have thought so too?

When is age discrimination lawful

Sorry, too tired to find correct links. No doubt a smart cookie will be along shortly with the answers xxx

. The thing making me anxious is going for interviews and change . Any job I have went for and really wanted, I've not got an interview. I'm only getting interviews for rubbish low paid jobs.

Have a huge hug Zippy. I know how you feel. I am a hardworking punctual reliable and totally work dedicated employee with years of experience, a high level of intelligence and more skills than you could list. Sadly I have been out of work for a year now this week and I have not had a single interview.Despite being on the books for countless agencies, even temp work has not been forthcoming.

I hope you find something suitable soon.
