Earlier I have issue at work. Everyday nightmare dealing with this fella difficult staff.

Want to change job, kept applying, but recently 2 employers at jobstreet rejected my application.

Then I bombarded linkedin with 30 applications, macam no progress.

Is life over at 51yo? Not sure why employers refuse to take me in. I am in good health, no high blood pressure. I know people as young as 37yo already kena high blood pressure. HR so particular with age meh?

I am an Accountant.

I had one UMW HR told me qualifications, salary no issue, but age, so had to reject my application. eventho the hiring manager wanted to hire me. That time I was 45 y/o.

Damn sad when you realize, age has become a barrier eventho physically and mentally, feels like nothing have changed.

Since OP got job at least not so urgently in need, can take time to filter. I just took what ever that came my way, and landed working in a factory, Im from marketing background, current job totally does not utilize marketing knowledge.

Our team is pretty new, accountant (53 y/o) was hired three months before me, production manager (50 y/o) a month after me, storekeeper (55 y/o) hired five months ago and admin (47 y/o) two months ago. Reason being all the young hires, have so much drama and dreams. the boss was fed up with all the high turn over. So far seems to have stabilize and the factory is upping production. Only the technicians, engineers, QC are under 30's.


So OP, keep trying la. When not yet found cos, it is not time, when its time it will come. Just be ready when it comes.
