I think the opening lines of this article sum up the situation perfectly. The longer you have worked in a specific employment sector, with one company, indeed industry, the harder it is to break away from it, particularly in to-days employment climate. It is hard enough to find work in a particular specialisation, in my case Credit Control and Management, let alone changing career direction. The more experienced in that sector, and the lenght of time you have been in it, is an issue with most would be new employers, more so if the person recruiting is younger than you by 10 years or more. At the moment it is an employers paradise, with the power to make redundant people at a drop of a hat (read dismiss people at will); and in recruitment being as choosy and pedantic in their requirements and Job Specifications as they can be. I have lost count of the number of times I have been told that I am: 1. Over or underqualified 2. Not worked in that particular sector before 3. I do not exacty fit the job specification, because my CV shows that I have not used a particular brand or version of software. 4. There were other applicants better suited to the role. Read: were prepared to take a lower salary than I was. I have seen my profession become more like a Ford car production line, with questions like: "What is your call rate"; rather than "what is your experience in Credit Management and how have you approached certain problems"; "What is your dispute resoloution rate in a certain time scale", and not how many succesful cases have you received, or what has been your greatest achievement you have made to date" etc. Some of these questions are absurd, and usually bear no relevance to the job in hand and it seems to have become so statistic driven that I am looking at moving out of what was a proffession dumbed down to a bunch of button pushers and calls per hour acheived-irrespective whether that call was sucessful in recovering money. In fact I wonder sometimes why I bothered to take any of my professional exams, since this apparently leads to being "over-qualification". Taking out the qualifications form your CV does not help, as it will become clear in the interview the level you are at; in the same way as removing your date of birth to avoid "ageism" will get you in front of the employer, but they are probably younger than you. It does seem that employers are more interested in the computer you have used and industry sector which you have worked in recently, irrespective that you did the same job 10 years ago. Now, here is the catch. I have looked at comming out of Credit Management indeed any part of the Accountancy Sector, an area which I have worked in for 30 years. As outlined above increasingly it has become so over computerised, that even the Credit Control and general accounts departments no longer actually talk to eachother; as for sales everything is done by e-mail and impossible to know where the salesperson is, let alone talk to them. I have certain issues which prevent me from going in to certain sectors, particularly where children and the elderly are concerned. In my case, being colour blind (unusual for a woman, as we are normally of the carrier of the gene for colour blindness)I cannot be a nurse, doctor, pharmacist; and certainly not an electrician! The other issue is the fact that I am an epileptic, which exempts me from working with the elderly and particularly children under the age of 16, since I cannot hold loco parentis. You can just imagine the panic watching teacher throw a seisure in front of 30 kids, and no doubt be sued by their parents for "Nervous shock" to their children(if you get what I mean). Finally, I cannot work with high speed machinery, again for safety reasons. Now, what is left? Kitchen/catering? Well it is a consideration, but I would need cross training and again there could be issues with the potential for an epileptic fit, causing a danger to myself or others. Moving in to a different area altogether? Well in theory fine: if your young enough. However in my case I considered going in to teaching in Colleges where the age issue does not come in to play as the Students are over 16. The twist is that no matter my experience or qualfications, I would need to have over and above those, an HND/HNC in a discipline (three year course minimum, and assuming you pass each exam first time), then a one year conversion course to gaing a teaching certificate; which in reality is a further two years at best. I am 48, so by the time I am ready to move I will be 54- in most employers eyes over the hill. Notwithstanding the costs of tuituon fees gaining the qualifications needed. So, if you are going to make a career change the earlier you do it, the better as people see younger people (under 30) more flexible, and school and college leavers (16-21, cheap fodder. Afterall, most jobs now are button pushing. For some reason employers see older people as a risk and inflexible, when usually they are quite the reverse since their experience of life in general will be an aid int its own right. Your article is probably accurate for people under the age of 30, but certainly not those over 40. The old addage "over the hill at 50", has become over the hill at 40. It is absurd that our Government (of which colour) are going to official retirement age to 70, if people are having problems securing work at 50. We knew that the National Insurance system was going to collapse in the 1980s when the reproduction rate dropped from 2.4 childre per family unit; to 1.8, together with fewer couples starting a family at all. By 2025, (only 13 years away) their will be more people over 60 than below. To conclude, if you are going to make a career change as soon as you realise you are not happy in that sector and the younger you realise that the better. Alternatively, as I am, look at taking your skills overseas; there is nothing left here ! (for the record, will someone in i-village explain why this Captch business is required/necessary?)
