In my country, being 48 years old makes it difficult for job seekers to be marketable. There are too many younger competitors, which is why I find it hard to get a job. Eventually, I started a small business just to survive, but it has not been a good idea.
However, I am still trying to find a job in my country at an older age. It is uncommon for a 48-year-old man to compete with 23-year-old job seekers. Finding a job is not easy today, as the available vacancies do not align with the skills and expectations of new job seekers.
Besides that, the salary will be my next problem if it does not meet the needs of my family expenses and school fees for my children.
In my desperation, I keep sending application letters, hoping for a miracle. I wish a company would call me, accept my application, and offer me the position I desire. What do you think? Is 48 years old considered too old to get a job in your country?
