Over 50's - Office job described as energetic

pearl123

Just a quick query.
If you are in your 50's would you be put off an office described as 'energetic with daily deadlines which must be met'. It states quite clearly the ability to work under pressure.
I am a returner to work and perhaps my judgement is not as it should be. Perhaps, this would suite better a younger person. However, in saying that i have worked in a similar role!

Sounds like telesales/cold calling.

Run for the hills.

Sounds like an advert designed to evade ageism. They clearly want a younger person.

That was my instant impression as well.
Doesn't mean you shouldn't go for it. But if it's an office full of twenty somethings don't be surprised if you get knocked back.

Thank you for the replies. You've back up what I've been thinking.

If you want the job, apply and if offered an interview, mention that you like working in offices with mostly young people as you enjoy their energy. :-)
