Answer 1

you just answered your own question. "25yrs experience" most company's today would rather hire some young punk to do the job than a person like you. main reason being they are scared they may have to pay you a decent wage. the days are gone when most company's valued mature experienced employees. this is sad but VERY true. iam going to get a lot of people who disagree with my answer, but i could care less. i have held several jobs where i was required to attend corporate meetings with the human resources managers, and they make no bones about this issue when behind closed doors. they would NEVER admit to this type of selective hiring practice for fear of being sued for age discrimination.  (which is basically what it amounts to) just keep plugging along and sooner or later you will find a company that will value your skills and experience, and not see it as a liability......there are still company's out there who operate with common sense....good luck.

Answer 2
