I’m forty years old but my typing skills are still improving. The older you get, the harder it becomes for you to gain employment. It becomes more and more difficult to convince a prospective employer to hire you based on your interview skills alone. It doesn’t seem to matter how fat your resume is or how compelling your references are, they judge you immediately, based on how many lines you have on your face. It is this sort of prejudice in the workplace that led me to begin my data entry business. Old typists never die, they just become their own boss and work from home!
I’d hate to be looking for a clerical position or office bound data entry job now. The current climate doesn’t really seem to welcome the older worker with administrative abilities. I’d probably be homeless now if I hadn’t decided to actually work from home. The only chance for someone my age to be a force in the field of data entry, is to write articles and post them on the internet in exchange for advertising revenue. Once you’ve decided to do that, it’s vital to have the discipline to publish something every day, otherwise you’re just wasting your time.
