In Response to Re: Are you looking for a part-time job?: Has anyone did a hobby and turned it into selling items? Yes, I started out painting on porcelain ornaments jewlery, and ceramic tile. Paintig designs with china and luster paints firing them in my kiln. Went to stores and built a good clientele. The tiles were designed for custom homes. From there my art work took off into doing murals(with regular paints) and faux painting.Did all this over 25 years. So, yes you can, Hobbies become the best businesses!Posted by edogmom |

Yes I would love a part-time job? But think that the younger people starting out are the ones more htan likely to get any job I might apply for. So I don't do the foot work. Hearing the Blogs. I think I am right. |

In Response to Re: Are you looking for a part-time job?: I am at my wits end! Have had several interview with Banks and they are looking for either a f/t/or p/t Teller for which I have many years of experience plus a college degree. Guess what? nothing ever comes of these meetings, both the branch personnel and the recruiters never get back to you. Age discrimination is alive and well and DEFINITEY flourishing in South Florida.. One Bank in particular, is a flagrant violator and we will meet in the EEOC chambers when my complaint is heard. Posted by bigjer27 Do you realize that by just giving your driver's license number, you are in effect providing them with the year of your birth? take a look at your driver's license and see.

I'm a newly retired registered nurse, looking for a private duty position for about 16 to 20 hours a week . I'm able to travel if needed. Not interested in working in Hospitals/ Long-term care anymore, of which I have Years of experience. Know anyone needing a Private RN? Checked many Home Health Agency but seem buisness is slow, none seem to be looking for Per-Diem nurse at this time. |

In Response to Re: Are you looking for a part-time job?: In Response to Are you looking for a part-time job? : Yes, I've worked as a part-time waitress in the past and definitely enjoyed the cash tips. Posted by livvi I have been looking for a part time job for over a year. I have applications in at banks, stores, shops, offices. I have completed all the questions, resume, etc. No one even calls you back. You can't apply to most in person. They don't acknowledge you and you never hear back. Is it my age? 62 or is it the fact that I have been "retired" since 2006? I know the job market is tough, but really! |

In Response to Re: Are you looking for a part-time job?: In Response to Re: Are you looking for a part-time job? : I hear your pain and I'm sure there are a lot of others on here who have their own experiences with veiled discriminatory practices! But what I found was that I could continue to beat myself up because job searching wasn't going anywhere or I could take what was happening and turn it around for myself and a lot of other folks. I have a home based business and I am always looking for talent to partner up with. I especially enjoy working with the more mature person and love helping others earn the level of income they are seeking. Feel free to contact me if you would like to take a look at what I am doing. You never know, it just might be the thing you have been looking for! Posted by mrslabel Can you please provide me with some information on the work that you are doing? If it is something that I beleive I can perform, I would be intested. |

I definitely agree with you, age discrimination IS rampant. I retired from at&t after 35 years and then went to work for at&t wireless and SunCom Wireless. When they were bought out by T-Mobile I was laid off. I tried to start an age discrimination claim but it is very time consuming and you need a lot of proof. I recently applied for p/t positions with at&t and Verizon Wireless and was turned down by both for "unqualified" or "lack of experience." Really. AARP has suggested that you only put the last 10 years of employment on your resume, which I have done since. I think it's harder for employers to try to figure out how old you are if you begin from the beginning. So I am going to call out at&t and Verizon publicly and see what happens. I am not desperate, I can live within my means, but a little pocket money would be nice. But I want something to do to keep me active. I guess I'll just try volunteering. |

Hello; Yes, I am looking and have been looking for something Part-Time. However, I agree about the age discrimination barrier that is so prevalent. I am in the process of completing a Medical Transcription course (in about another two weeks) and I will have my certificate! I will be required to do an externship and if the organization is pleased with my performance, I pray I will be hired. The work at home internet scams are just that. SCAMS! I signed up for one and found myself canceling right away. I did receive my monies back, thank God! Happy Thanksgiving everyone and hang in there. Our Father knows everything we need. Blessings! 9254ahb |
