Career Opportunities in the Age of 40

Many people who previously worked with the office, then stopped for several reasons. The most common reason is because of the child. They leave to prepare for childbirth, and then concentrate on taking care of baby. Several years later, when the children have started standalone, you start thinking again to resume a career. But it may have entered the age of 40 years. Are there companies that accept you as an employee? While most companies recruit new employees up to age 30-35 years.

On the official site Experd, director of the career consultancy, Eileen Rachman, said in recruitment activities, a lot of companies that set the age requirement of not more than 35 years. Further, Eileen explains that there are companies prefer hiring younger generation. These types of companies consider age above 35 years as the starting age decreased performance. Employees at that age would be difficult to learn new things, and follow the cultural norms and the new company.

Employees' views on the age of four heads, not entirely correct. The people in that age in fact have the emotional maturity and wisdom that will benefit the company. Eileen called the maxim of "old old coconut palm, the older the more bersantan" as a description of experience and personal maturity in the age group above 40 years. "Every person who has the competence deserve a chance to work," said Eileen. That rule is unfair and has been applied in developed countries like the United States. In Indonesia there are no clear rules that protect such rights. Employee selection process is absolutely set the company's internal policies.

But if you intend to work again, there are some things you should understand. Before applying for a new job, you must lower your expectations or standards previously. Standards can not be enforced at this time. Especially when you have long been absent from the world of work. According to Eileen, one doubts the company is recruiting mature aged applicants to determine the amount of salary. Be prepared for a possible get fewer wages. Measure your skills in order to determine how many decent salary received from the company.
