Never judge a book by its cover is synonymous with the hiring of seniors. The assumption that anyone over sixty cannot function effectively in the job market is a myth. Developmental milestones do not have absolute truth over the aging process because there are many developmental and social factors that contribute to aging. One’s lifestyle, health condition, or genetics have a lot to do with the aging. Another myth is that people over sixty do not have technology skills. Not all seniors are rolling up and getting ready to die or stay home with their grandchildren. Even if they wanted to, they do not have the luxury to do so because inflation is eroding their retirement funds. Many 50-year-old students are now attending college to upgrade their skills. However, what these newly “improved“ workers bring to the table are not only relevant skills but also years of knowledge and work ethics.
