On The Job

MAY 18, 2009

Still, I have to wonder if employers arent passing over resumes with job candidates over 45, or if theyre taking one look at the gray hair and thinking: "Next!"

Many freelancers don’t have to send their resumes to people anymore, so those degrees don’t see a lot of action, but they’re there, collecting dust on our walls.
