I am a 43 year old pre-nursing student trying to work full time. I just started a new job temp job today and I have a feeling that they will not keep me. Nobody introduced me to the other staff. By afternoon, my supervisor would not look me in the eye. I am concerned because the agency told me that this company did not want anyone "too young or too old". I am the oldest in there (my boss is about 12 years younger). Also, there have been a few people in this position who were "let go" in the past 6 months who did not work out (so they say). I know ageism exists in the workplace. I have worked for 2 previous companies who did not hire qualified canidates because the supervisors did not want to hire anyone "older than them". I want to become an LVN & I hope my age will not be a hindrance to getting or keeping a job. But, when I was younger, I had no problem getting a job. I can not change my age. Any advice is very much appreciated. I am so worried because I need a job to pay my bills.
