I’m 61 and mainly looking for part time shop assistant jobs as that’s what I’ve been doing in a voluntary role for the past 18 months in a very busy charity shop. I’m on the shop floor, serving on the till, helping customers with queries, taking donations etc. I’m there once or twice a week and most days it’s so full on that I don’t get a chance to sit down but I really enjoy the role. I know the managers would give me a good reference. I’ve done lots of voluntary work over the years and was a voluntary treasurer for a local sports and social club up until 2 years ago. Maybe I’ve just left looking for paid employment too late but up until 2 years ago I was a carer for my mother in law for nearly 6 years and couldn’t actively look for anything as she was totally reliant on me as a carer. Before my life as a carer I was self employed as a registered childminder for 16 years, also bringing up my own family and before that I had many office roles in various organisations but times have changed with office work. That’s why I thought I would volunteer in a charity shop and I really enjoy it but sadly it’s not paid! I started applying for paid jobs around 7 months ago (when I was 60) and some don’t get back even with a yes or no but continue to advertise the jobs either in their shop window or online. A couple of my friends (of a similar age) and I applied for the same job in a gift etc shop in the Camberwell area and all got no response at all. The latest application was at another well known gift/clothing shop in ED. They had a sign in their window for part time Christmas staff and the job was also online. I applied online and was told the job was no longer available and to click on a link for more jobs in other areas. Clicked on the link they sent me and lo and behold the job in ED was still on their website! I’ve applied for other positions but not heard anything back. A friend who is my age has applied for over 200 jobs (not all shop work) and most don’t even respond back. Maybe it’s not ageism and happens to everyone but just thought I’d bring it up.
