Then there is agesism and fear. I've been told more than once, "I'm afraid you'll take my job."

I encountered this once, but it was a while ago. And usually this comes up as an issue after an interview. These days, I'm having a tough enough time just getting initial interviews.

You are not alone and most likely it's not you, it's them. The whole recruiting business is utterly fucked up. I've even had initial screening interviews by "Sr. Tech. Recruiters" that just two years earlier were working at the Gap folding shirts and pants. Sometimes it's intolerable and infuriating. Hang in there.

Thanks. I need to hear this. And I've seen the same thing. So many recruiters with next to no experience.
