I remember when I was in my early 20s and right out of college it was so hard to find a good job because I looked so young and had so little experience. But low wage survival jobs in retail were easy to get. Now that I am nearly fifty it is hard to get professional jobs because they say I am too old and low wage survival jobs are nearly impossible to get because I am too old. I think your 30s are the best years for easier job hunting for all types of job. The ages from 30-39 are the preferred age by most employers. What do you think?
Depends, some will gain more skills and experience than others. You also have fat out of shape 18 year olds in the US these days.
In my late twentys I have a lot more skills than when I was 18 but I'm still in good physical shape. I could dig a ditch if I had to but I'm usually doing something more important.
Not taking the economy into account of course.
That's a good question. I would say people in their late 20's to mid 30's seem to have the best chances at getting most jobs. Late teens/early 20's and people over 50 either seem to have to settle for unemployment or low wage jobs unfortunately.
Probably in your peak earning years. So I'd say 30s, 40s, and 50s. In your 20s, you're typically too inexperienced to demand much. Unless you're on an executive board somewhere, your 60s and beyond are typically followed by a decline in your career. Of course, this will probably be changing soon as many of us will likely live longer. Heck, my supervisor is in his 70s and he's still going strong.
I didn't know what you were talking about at first but I was looking through my previous posts and I just noticed that.
