How to defend age discrimination in a job interview

Age discrimination is pretty much alive particularly while signing up for jobs in Pakistan. Job seekers being affected by that age discrimination find it had to resist and make their way out chiefly for the jobs which require a highest level of energy. Primarily make sure that that you don’t get discouraged by such things.  

Mostly companies fear to hire old age employees because they fear their heedlessness in  embracing new technologies which have become very important in today’s environments of competition.

A mature employee can tackle such situation very easily. Here are few suggestions by which you can use your age as an asset than a liability. 

Talk about your high level of engagement and rendezvous: it’s a matter of common knowledge that younger lot is relatively self-centered who prefer to work in their own right. Use their loss as your benefit and show determined and committed you are towards your assignments. Get in to your work and how them how far you can go to keep up with the tasks.   

2. Play your permanency card: Your age has added experience to your profile so use it as a useful weapon. Communicate with employers that how you have utilized your expertise to resolve issues in the previous job. For instance one of my coworker who was being interviewed for different accountant jobs in Lahore, took up their experience in the previous accountant job where he utilized hi gifted skills to resolve an apparent clash in the entries. Moreover, tell them ow loyal you were to your company where you spend almost a decade and had to left due to unavoidable circumstances. This will make them perceive you as a loyal employee.    

Give a mention of your productivity. Since you have already played your consistency and engagement card, and connect it to your enhanced productivity. Of course you are experienced, fused and consistent, who can doubt your productivity.

Speak about your experience: when they ask you of your age, tell them about your years of experience. Experience is a valuable nugget in the time of competition. Experience is a hard earned gem for which youthful energy cannot compete. If an employer hired a highly experienced person he would most expectedly not repeat the mistakes which he has committed already in the past.    

7 Top Reasons To Leave Job in This Modern Era

Undoubtedly, the acceptable reasons for leaving a job have changed over the years.

For example, even just a few decades ago, leaving a job would most probably mean that a person is either moving from his or her place of residence or that the company itself has closed for good. However, with the change in corporate and human mentality, there are more and more acceptable reasons for leaving a job today.

 The average job span of a person has decreased from a good fifteen/twenty years to a mere two to three years. Therefore, if you have worked in a company for two or three years and are now looking for a job, you may have many good reasons as compared to several years ago.

Answering the interview question: why did you leave your last job?

The following are a list of acceptable answers as good reasons to leaving a job:

Career growth 
you can easily say that you are looking for a change in role and wanted more growth, or even that your position was getting stagnant. This might be an acceptable reason for quitting your job, but this by no means gives you leeway to criticize your job.

Your career path 
one reason is basic dissatisfaction with your career. Remember that it is not about the particular company or the department, but your career on the whole. This reason would hold true if you have a rich career profile and are currently applying for jobs in Pakistan in a new profession.

Looking for challenges 
One of the most common and simple reasons is that your job was at a standstill and you wished to seek newer avenues and greater challenges.

Restructuring
another common reason nowadays is company restructuring. When a company restructures, it can lay off several people, and in a timeframe. Therefore, even if you have not been directly told to go, nobody would blame you if you are looking for avenues because your colleagues or some other department has been told to go.

Relocation
More often than not, relocation is another reason that is blindly accepted by a company as a reason for looking for another job.

While these are just some of the traditional reasons for a job change, there are some reasons that are more or less accepted today.

Enhanced Education
another reason that can be provided is enhancement of abilities and education. If you have recently acquired a degree and have decided to utilize your education to enhance your professional profile, this would be a good reason to give for this question.

Workplace Distance
sometimes, even reasons related to daily commutation, like spending too much time commuting from your place of work to your place of residence, as well as less time spent with family can be considered to be the reason/one of the reasons for leaving your profession or jobs in Pakistan.

Remember that you cannot lie about the reason why you quit your job.

In this era of references and cross references, finding out the real reason why you quit your job is as simple as dialing ten digits on a mobile device.

These above are reasons for leaving a current job or a previous job.
