Help For Older Job Seekers

Mature website www.50connect.co.uk announce the creation of a new jobs forum for recruiters and older job hunters.

In a bid to tackle the growing problem of over-50s unemployment and age discrimination in the workplace, 50 Connect, the UKís largest website for the over-50s, has announced the creation of a free-for-all jobs board to help older job seekers back into paid employment.

ìMany over-50s want to work but through no fault of their own have being made redundant on reaching fifty,î comments Dale Lovell of 50 Connect. ìAge discrimination in the workplace means that many over-50s find it increasingly difficult to find employment. We want to help people back into work by providing easy access to a range of jobs opportunities online.î

50 Connectís decision to launch a Jobs Board comes in the wake of damning new research from Age Concern England, claiming that the majority of people in the UK believe age discrimination is getting worse, not better.*

Unlike other online Job Forums, 50 Connect will not be charging recruiters for advertising jobs on the site and welcome postings from individuals looking for work also.

ìThis is not a commercial venture for us at 50 Connect, our main concern in launching is to aid the very many over-50s who are currently out of work get back into employment,î concluded Mr. Lovell.

Recruiters and those looking for work are invited to list their requirements online at
