Gender bias against older men in the administrative and office assistant fields
How much preference or bias is there within the Administrative fields towards younger women and against men? As a man whom is a seasoned professional I am sensing a subtle yet constant trend wherein there seems to be a definite gender bias against men and towards women for most such openings; even though I have worked in both Office Administration, and Office Management.
Is this a genuine bias; or are there other forces at work? As a man with related relevant experience, education and training; I am not generating the kinds of leads or interest in my interviewing for firms that I had anticipated. Am I missing something? Is this a genuine bias or is it something else?
I should note that I am also a somewhat more senior 'older' job seeker (I am "58')
How best can I mitigate these obstacles, sexism and ageism so that I might regain employment?krenste Jan 10, 2017Add comment
