Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

Older and unable to find a job?

It might help to get your (unauthorized) public profile deleted from MyLife.com, Spokeo, White Pages, BeenVerified, etc. That is what I will be doing this week.

I googled myself and right up top of the search returns was the MyLife headline with my name, location, and age. I was wondering how I was so quickly getting rejected for jobs I applied to, without an interview, considering that I have some of the best experience, credentials, and reputation of anyone in my rather narrow field. I believe this is the key, since my resume and LinkedIn profiles have been scrubbed of age indicators.

There are services that claim to remove you from 20 such sites for a fee, but I will try my luck first with the ones I've listed. Since a number of you have posted that you're not getting interviews due to age, why not give this approach a try?

The buzz words currently being searched ARE diversity and age identifiers.
Skills have been deprioritized since they opened the curtain on Diversity theatre.

Great suggestion to get your public profile erased. This is a good idea no regardless of your job situation. Let us know if it works.
