One form of discrimination axed in one fell swoop.

you could be 50 never worked in your life and have zero qualifications and they would still make out you can get a job. you could probably throw in a conviction for murder as well.I think you're right you do lose employability from day one. But has to be even harder after 2 years to find there are a number of barriers in your way. And I guess the WP and JC don't understand how employers see things.0
