Finding a job - age discrimination.
I am halfway through the K1 process and hope
to be relocating to CT in early September.
The main worry I have concerns finding suitable
employment.
I am probably one of the older members on these
boards at the ripe old age of 52 and have over 30
years experience in the printing industry. If I had
to look for a new job in the UK now it would be quite
daunting, is it likely to be any different in the USA?
Regards
Mike

Make sure that you get you resume (cv) Americanized - the format for a US resume is quite different from a British CV.

Paaaaaatt!
Ok you have found me.
Looks like my idea of opening a used car lot
in CT is a non starter!

With the job market as tight as it is, selecting employees is even more rigorous than ever so preparing yourself with a US resume that raises no flags about your age is the best bet. Of course, you shouldn't omit dates when you worked at previous employers...
I wish you luck,
