Why do some people say that it is difficult for people over 40 to find a job?

It is an indisputable fact that it is difficult to find a job at the age of 40, but it also contains the helplessness and bitterness of 40-year-old people in the face of past life.

First of all, people around the age of 40 have low academic qualifications, which is a serious injury to job hunting. The youngest is 40 years old and is a friend born in 1978. As a post-70 s generation, because colleges and universities had not expanded enrollment at that time, they wanted to be admitted to universities after 70 s. It can really be described as crossing a wooden bridge with thousands of troops. The proportion of people who can be admitted to the university is very small, and they can really be regarded as the favored ones. For most post-70s who have never been to college, it is a common phenomenon that their academic qualifications are not high. In the modern workplace, it is really difficult to find a good job without education.

Secondly, people around the age of 40 have some deterioration in their learning ability and adaptability. Undeniably, the 40-year-old person's physical function is worse than that of young people in their twenties, whether it is memory, understanding or energy. In addition, 40-year-old people are old and young, and there are too many people and things to care about around them, and they often lack learning reserves in vocational skills and new knowledge. This directly leads to the lack of competitiveness of 40-year-olds in the workplace. Many new things and technologies are unknown, unknown and unknown. The competitiveness in the workplace is relatively weak, so it is naturally more difficult to find a job.

Third, people around 40 are much more anxious than young people. As mentioned above, a 40-year-old man has children to support and old people to take care of, and his troubles are much more than those of young people. Even if he can find a better job in a different place, he can only give it up for family reasons. At the same time, 40-year-old people, who have their own familiar city, familiar life and familiar business, are generally reluctant to venture to new places and new fields to try a new life. Such constraints have narrowed their career choices a lot, and there are fewer natural choices when looking for a job.

Finally, people around the age of 40 lack competitive advantage in physical strength and energy. It is an inevitable law that people go downhill in middle age. A 40-year-old man is not a 20-year-old boy after all. After all, he can't stay up for days. It takes at least two or three days to get over it. After all, a 40-year-old who drinks in the workplace can't compete with those stupid young people. He can use a small steel gun and a catty of white wine as the base material. With the same salary, business owners are naturally willing to choose young people instead of middle-aged people, which is also human nature.

These are the general reasons why some 40-year-old people can't find jobs. However, people around 40 actually have their own advantages. Your work experience, work experience, work skills and social resources are your important advantages. Only by starting from these aspects can a 40-year-old worker gain a firm foothold in the workplace, and only by constantly improving his ability in these aspects can he win extra points for himself when applying for a job.

It is a common social phenomenon that it is difficult for forty-year-olds to find a job. Just look at the labor market to see how difficult it is. Many employers require "under 45 years old" when recruiting. Why are companies unwilling to recruit employees over 40 years old? There are five reasons.

First, low academic qualifications. People in their forties were born in the 1970s. At the school stage, universities did not expand their enrollment, so their academic qualifications were generally low, which was fatal. You can't play computer when you enter the office, and you can't tamper with equipment when you go to the workshop. Compared with young people, I am not competitive.

Second, be knowledgeable. Why are companies willing to use young people? Because young people will be brilliant if they give some sunshine, and it will be foolish to give some chicken soup. However, after middle age, people have experienced many things, seen the world and human feelings more thoroughly, and their thoughts are more mature. Can bowls of chicken soup fool them?

Third, the degree of effort is poor. After forty years old, life is basically stereotyped. I just go to work to earn some money to support my family. Without passion, I no longer want to make progress and struggle, so I just muddle along. Everyone wants to be a white rabbit, which is what enterprises are most worried about.

Fourth, the concept is outdated. Knowledge changes with each passing day Compared with young people, the thinking of middle-aged people in their forties is deteriorating day by day, obviously unable to keep up with the development of the times. And most people have poor academic qualifications. To be a monk for a day, there is no innovation and competitiveness without learning ability!

Fifth, there are many risks. At a certain age, the body will get worse and worse, especially now, the development trend of diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral hemorrhage is obvious. There are often employees in their forties who are doing something and suddenly fall on their posts. This is a huge risk for enterprises.

1. If you like it after reading it, you may wish to pay attention and like it. Thank you.

2. If you like workplace and management knowledge, pay attention to this number and read related articles!

This is the status quo where many factors are intertwined. Not the result of one aspect. If you want to have a more comprehensive and objective understanding and cognition of this problem, please look at the sharing below the old ghost from the perspective of "probability and proportion"! Because no point of view can be universally applicable, any thought will have its opposite special case.

First, the supply of human resources in China is in a state of oversupply, and young people can't use it all! This is the most realistic social situation! For most jobs in most enterprises, young people are stronger than those over 40 in energy, physical strength and brain power. (The old ghost is talking about proportion! And absolutely! )

In this case where the overall supply of manpower is sufficient, enterprises have young people available, and of course they choose younger people. So there is no need to make anyone feel unconvinced or unfair. The current situation of human resources supply is like this! For example, in many European countries, if they don't recruit very old people to work, they won't have jobs! China is not like this. Many people! -This is the biggest reality.

Second, after the age of 40, people's ability to adapt to the new environment is reduced, and it is difficult to change their inherent concepts. This is the objective reason why many enterprises are unwilling to hire people aged 40. In proportion, most people's thinking patterns will become more and more solidified with age. And my way of thinking, values, behavior habits, work skills and many other aspects tend to solidify.

Don't blame the old ghost for being arbitrary! In proportion, this situation is more serious. After forty, there are late bloomers, but after all, they are a few! And many so-called people who get ahead after forty years old are also the result of laying a good foundation before forty years old!

For an enterprise, it is hoped to recruit job seekers who can quickly adapt to the enterprise environment and culture and produce combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Therefore, once you are over forty, you have no advantage. ......

Third, the younger management of enterprises is also one of the important factors that are unwilling to recruit older employees. This factor cannot be discussed on the table. But this is a very normal reason. Think about it carefully: the department leader is only in his early thirties. Is he willing to manage subordinates in their forties? If there are older subordinates in your department or team at the beginning of your promotion, there is no way out. But if he recruits new employees, is he willing to let in older job seekers? ......

When people reach middle age, the pressure from all sides determines the high expectation of salary and treatment, which is also the reason why they can't find their ideal job well. When people reach middle age, they are old and young. Naturally, the requirements for job stability, salary and so on are often higher than those of young people! I have to do this. This is the embarrassment of this age.

This has caused the 40-year-old middle-aged people to gradually reduce their selectivity when choosing a job and choosing a job-seeking enterprise. The simplest example: 40-year-old job seekers, most of them have more urgent and higher requirements for the basic salary, because it involves their daily basic life problems!

Don't sing high-profile! Since you still need to find a job at the age of 40, you will not be too rich with your original income and family savings, so most people have higher requirements for basic family expenses. This also increases the difficulty for middle-aged people to find jobs.

5. "Too high or too low" subconscious will have a hidden influence on middle-aged people's job hunting. At this age, experience, qualification, ability, etc. Maybe more than young people, or because of age, experience and other reasons. When choosing recruitment enterprises and jobs, the standards are often raised by the devil. Because I also know that some positions are "young people", I am unwilling, embarrassed or disdainful to do a certain job. Or feel ashamed to do some kind of work.

This also makes it more difficult for 40-year-olds to find jobs and the job search cycle is longer.

6. The enlightenment to young people is the same. When books are used, people will hate less. When they were young, their own efforts, achievements, positions, abilities, skills, network resources and so on determined their identity, status and future development at the age of forty. It also determines the choice of continuing to work or starting a business in the future.

Don't wait until you are forty years old to feel embarrassed. ......

The above is for reference.

The more you share, the more you gain! It is not difficult to find a job at 40: it is not difficult to find a job. You can't change the life pattern formed in 40 years, get out of your own mode of thinking and get stuck in the rigid circle of career planning mode in order to find a job. Naturally, it is difficult to move.

With many years of job hunting experience, at the age of 40, you have a rich resume to interview. Don't say that age doesn't give you a chance. I've given you a chance. When you face an HR interviewer who is younger than you and has no rich work experience, it is difficult for you to keep a modest attitude and calmly answer all kinds of wonderful questions. This is the helpless 40-year-old unemployed life.

If you are politely rejected by several companies. I suggest you take a cool look at the city where you live. What people in their forties are doing may really touch your hard shell of self-protection, change your concept, get out of your own mind, and change from looking for a job to looking for a job to make a living. There will naturally be another village.

Two facts are obvious:

First, you don't have special work skills, management experience, a certain degree of education, industry expertise and network resources. At this age, it is quite difficult to apply for jobs in big companies and factories. Second, people in their forties do things in society. No one lies under the tree in the sun every day. It is the second half of life when you are in your forties. All the burdens of life add up, and my normal work income is stretched. Once I lost my job because of many factors, I had the same experience and felt the same way.

Restoring economic income as soon as possible is not a matter of how much money you earn, but a wise move to regain your self-confidence, enrich your life and overcome failure. First, we should accept the reality frankly and throw away all feelings of resentment, regret, self-blame, nostalgia and anxiety. Tell yourself with the mature rationality of your middle-aged people: there is no if in life. There is nothing useless in the earth, and heaven does not create useless people. Second, save your energy, adjust your physical and mental state, and turn your mood to an optimistic and positive channel. Start planning the rest of your life again. Re-examine all your existing conditions and resources. Third, your physical fitness is ok, and you can accept some manual labor. After short-term study and training, you can work as a courier, delivery, supermarket loader, housekeeping, decoration industry installation, security work or temporary workers on construction sites. I went to Beijing to see my mother during the Spring Festival and met a middle-aged woman who came to work as an hourly worker. We chat and know that her family is from Shangqiu, Henan. She and her husband came to Beijing to make a living. She undertook the cleaning work, and her husband did some work such as cleaning the range hood, moving and installing furniture. The couple earned more than 10,000 yuan in January, rented a house and settled with their children.

She said that her husband was also the workshop director of the company, and the company went bankrupt. If you can't find a good job, come out and want to go back to Shangqiu. You will work in Beijing. There are many opportunities here. As long as you are diligent, you can always find something to do and earn money.

Fourth, if you have hobbies or interests for many years, you can combine them and explore learning skills. You can go to the corresponding store or small company to help you find a job. For example, I like cooking, handcrafting, repairing, planting flowers and grass, fishing, photography, calligraphy and so on. My second brother was at home many years ago because of work-related injuries, and it was impossible for him to find a job for physical reasons and age reasons. He liked fishing and began to think about it with all his might. In recent years, he has supplied fresh wild river fish to several hotels in the town, earning a lot of money and enjoying it.

Fifth, I don't recommend you to work from the media full-time, unless you have some savings. Even if you are unemployed, you still have a lot of free time. I have work to do, first take care of my family's food and drink. You have the ability to write and learn new things. You are no stranger to the Internet and self-media. You can study and try it in your spare time. As the old saying goes, there is always a road in front of the driveway. In our social reality, this old saying still brings us confidence and hope. (End)

I hope my answer can help you.

I am the grace of dripping water. Welcome friends with ideas to give directions, comments and concerns.

This society is very realistic and helpless. From graduation to 35 years old, it will be the golden time of ten years. After the age of 35, I obviously feel that my job opportunities are getting worse every year. From the perspective of empathy, the boss of a private enterprise really wants to find young and creative talents to work for him, but as an individual, he is really helpless. He felt that he was experienced, stable, responsible and patient, and was rejected by the employer. 17 years, the company wanted to recruit a sales manager. In the morning, a 29-year-old offered 2w, and in the afternoon, a 456 offered 8k. I listened to all the interviews. Full of cows flying airplanes, giving people an overwhelming success posture. 46' s conversation was very stable, and he never said a complete sentence from beginning to end. One of them said that he didn't ask for a high base salary. Because the boss didn't talk about the weekly re-examination, at the age of 46, he called the company twice afterwards and asked if the boss would come back. Asked about the results of the initial personnel test, in private, HR and I were very satisfied with the 46-year-old vice president. But when the personnel asked the first vice president, the 37-year-old vice president said that he liked the 29-year-old, but he couldn't afford a company with a basic salary of 20 thousand. The 46-year-old's limited thinking is formed, and he doesn't want to take care of teenagers older than himself. He is inflexible and difficult to convince and communicate. Suddenly it gave me a great feeling, and I seemed to see my shadow in a few years. I feel sorry for this middle-aged man in his forties for no reason. There are older children to take care of and children to study. If he doesn't need a job very much, how many people can call the employer several times to ask for the result! In fact, I also want to say that sometimes you have more experience and ability without interviewing your boss, and your boss is afraid of you. If you come in, he will be useless, but they will win in youth.

I think it is not difficult for people over 40 to find a job, but it is difficult for people over 40 to find a satisfactory and suitable job!

This age is generally a small leader or technical backbone in the company, which is unique in the company. Without special reasons, this age will not be easily unemployed! With their rich experience and experience, they will not be unemployed and look for a job again, but will be poached and quit!

I think the reason why they are unemployed is that they want to rest and readjust their state.

As for the 40-year-old people who are hard to find a job, it should be very few, and they may make themselves unemployed for various reasons. The reason why they are hard to find a job may be that they are picky about their work at this age and have high requirements for working hours, wages, work content and many other working conditions. Moreover, because my career has basically been finalized, the employment scope will be narrower when looking for a job. Unlike young people, they can try anything. If it doesn't fit, they still have plenty of time to start over.

Born in 1978 at the age of 40, he belongs to the generation after 70, and his career basically entered the second half.

First, from the characteristics of the workplace: 40-year-old people are not as energetic, passionate, innovative and learning ability as young people, but they have rich workplace experience, but many young people around 30 can do it, so 40-year-old people are excluded from the workplace, but they are still the core strength.

Second, the perspective of employing people: What kind of people does the company need? The answer is: young and promising. Young man, if you let him work overtime, let him think, let him go on a business trip and let him act as a labor force, of course it's no problem. But if a 40-year-old still does some basic work, people are unwilling to pay less. Therefore, from the perspective of minimum cost and maximum benefit, the company is definitely willing to let young people go to work.

Third, the topic asks why it is difficult for a 40-year-old to find a job, that is, he has no job at 40 and wants to find a job. We can think about it, except for labor-intensive jobs, 40-year-old people in the workplace have been working for at least 15 years and have been working for 15 years. Looking for a job must have been found by headhunters and introduced by acquaintances. It is impossible to find it by yourself. If you refuse to put down your airs, it will be difficult to have the right opportunity.

Fourth, there are some people, such as ordinary workers from factories or other people engaged in biased labor industries. If you are laid off at the age of 40 or have no job, then you have not been engaged in professional positions for many years, and you are less competitive and embarrassed, so you don't want people of this age. You don't have to be 40. Now you have this logo after you are 35 years old.

Fifth, many people who have reached the age of 40 in the enterprise are almost all veterans and middle and high-level people. With a certain network of resources, it is best not to come out blindly to find a job, because it is impossible to start all over again at this age. If you parachuted into the past to be a leader, there would be so many vacancies.

According to the present situation, I think it's time to be a hero, my family is stable, and my social experience is much better than those children. They know how to work hard. The only drawback may be the high asking price (except labor). In fact, sometimes 40-year-old people, if they have a certain accumulation, resources and contacts, will not worry about finding a job at all.

Seventh, 40 years old is the easiest age to succeed in starting a business, and experience, contacts, ideas and horizons are at their peak. I hope this will inspire everyone.

Eighth, if you are a 40-year-old who has been engaged in non-professional positions for a long time. At this age, I can only find some unskilled jobs, such as driving a taxi, property logistics, cleaning, assembly line and so on. Earn a stable income.

There are many reasons why you can't find a job at the age of 40, which can't be generalized and needs specific analysis. The real reason lies in the following points:

1. Enterprises are more willing to find young people for equal pay for equal work.

40-year-old employees are not as competitive as young people, especially those who are not enterprising. Age brings them only disadvantages without valuable experience, and the workplace will naturally encounter development bottlenecks.

In contrast, young people have better thinking and energy. For cost reasons, enterprises are naturally more willing to recruit young people, just like you buy things. The tender fruit was wrinkled by the old fruit. Which one do you choose?

2. Energy and ability can't keep up with the times and are eliminated by society.

Some 40-year-old employees are not unable to find a job, but have no sense of crisis. They didn't try to improve themselves when they were young. At the age of 40, I found that I was not competitive at all, and I didn't have the skills to make money. Over time, they are naturally eliminated by society.

Modern society is in a stage of rapid development. If middle-aged people don't constantly optimize their consciousness, they will easily be eliminated by the times.

A while ago, the news of layoffs in Oracle Bone Inscriptions Company was still fresh in my mind. Most of the laid-off employees are in their thirties and have been pampered in the company for a long time. Once laid off, they can only hold banners downstairs to protest and beg the company to leave them, but there is no capital to turn around.

Have they been fired by the company? No, it was eliminated by society.

With the development of science and technology, many jobs become more and more difficult to survive.

With the development of science and technology, unmanned hotels and cars begin to appear, which means that many jobs do not need manpower. At this time, middle-aged people are also the most dangerous group.

If they are engaged in repetitive work for a long time and cannot add value to the development of the workplace, middle age will inevitably decline. Once their jobs disappear, these people don't know where to go and can only fall into confusion and anxiety.

In fact, everyone can fully understand, because I was in a management position in my thirties, and my parents were just married and had no children, so there was no trivial matter to drag down my work. Recruiters will meet people older than me, some of whom are in their forties, to apply for basic positions. As a manager, I certainly hope that my subordinates will be fooled. I don't care about his psychology, which will affect my management position. Moreover, the personnel department and colleagues are both born after 85 and 90, and it is not recommended to use older ones. Many years have passed, and a few years have passed. Parents are sick, children are sick, and their energy is not as good as before. Children have to worry about transportation and care. Including myself. It's not easy to be over 40. If I have empathy now, if my ability is ok, I will give them a chance. I don't like the word demographic dividend. Whose bonus is this? A lot of cheap and easy-to-use young people have been arrested in first-tier cities, and everyone is always concerned about the employment of college students. "In the future, this group of 40-65 years old has not retired, and the post-80 s generation, the peak population, has entered this stage. With the enlargement of network penetration rate, the problem of re-employment will become more and more prominent, which is the first problem encountered by a generation with university and professional background. "

This sentence is wrong. Some people say such things with narrow vision, which can only prove their ignorance. They just stare at the list of factories and jobs in the city, which is nonsense. It is fundamental to be a man to crack down on people over 40 and seek truth from facts.

Make a distinction first. The average worker's age is between 20 and 55, and 40 is the middle line.

It is said that most job seekers are migrant workers, with a low education level over 40 years old, born in poverty, able to bear hardships, some of whom have worked hard for many years and accumulated rich work experience, but they are masters in many factories and are still popular in many factories. Why do they say it's hard to find a job and they don't want to work with low wages? Others go to the construction site. A few people are under 40. Let's look at the mining areas all over the country. How many people over 40 work in highways, railways and water conservancy facilities? How many people over 40 are working? They don't want to work where people over 40 are generally paid, because they have the responsibility. Considering that all families can live a good life, how many people over 40 are working, as long as they are not afraid of hardship and fatigue.

People under the age of 40 live in the era of reform and opening up, the country implements family planning, each family has one or two fewer children, and their lives are also improving. Generally speaking, they work hard at home, don't let them work, can't stand suffering, can't stand suffering, because they study too much and can't pass the exam. It is difficult for such people to find a job, go out to find a job, don't work hard, and have no technical expertise.
