I assume that many of you reading blogs on Bio Careers are recent grads or grads-to-be, and are scanning trade journals and websites looking for that plum position.
I am at the other end of the job seeker spectrum… what is euphemistically called a senior, mature, highly experienced applicant, and have sometimes been rejected because I am “over qualified.” I think that means that I am past my “use by” date. I don’t think I am the victim of age-ism, and I am full well aware that candidates across the entire age spectrum are suffering repeated rejections for a variety of reasons.
