April 8, 2016 |

By CPC Mastermind, Lori Jazvac. SET THE SCENE: In the employer’s waiting room, Jane, your client, feels well prepared.

In our role, we’re often presented with the difficulty that older workers perceive in their job search. To our clients, employers may seem discriminatory as they appear to favour younger candidates over more mature ones.
