In this episode of The Fishbowl with Jade, we're diving into the topic of ageism in the workplace. Is age really a barrier, or is there more to the story? We explore the value of experience, the realities employers face, the importance of mentorship, generational differences in the workforce, technology concerns, salary expectations, and the question many seasoned professionals are asking themselves today: Am I being overlooked because of my age?We'll examine this conversation from every angle without accusations or assumptions. I've sat in the chair of the candidate being interviewed, and I've sat in the chair of the person conducting the interview. I've seen both perspectives, and today we're taking a balanced look at a topic that impacts workers of all ages.Whether you're in your twenties, thirties, fifties, or beyond, this episode will challenge you to think about how we value experience, potential, and opportunity in today's workforce.If experience is one of the most valuable things we gain in life, why do some people feel it becomes less valuable in the workplace?
