 Re: Is there age discrimination in hiring seniors?
Quote:
Quote seniorteacher  I need help in figuring out if age discrimination exists in Asia. I'm more than qualified with the right degrees, credentials, and experience. However, I'm a 68 year old Asian female who looks and feels like a 55 year old. English is my first and only language as I was born and raised in America.
For the last 2 months, I've replied to several job announcements for TESL positions in Korea and Japan, but the results have been negative. Worse yet, there are no replies for most of my applications.
I'd really like to have honest answers from those who have the inside knowledge or experience as to why this is happening to me.
Thank you. | Hi,
I started teaching TESOL at the age of 62 in an engineering college in India. Since I was outside the mainstream of academic subjects and only working with the incoming foreign students, my age was not a concern. I hope to return to India again in September :-)
