Employmentof older workers improves, but Australia still lags behind New Zealand

Asa sixty-six-year-old with senior industry qualifications, Alister Robertson hasmet some employers who have not wanted to hire someone his age, despite hisexperience.

Whenhe applied for one job a couple of years ago, a young university graduate washired instead.

"Ijust felt they didn't want to take someone on at 64 years of age because theyknew I would be retiring fairly soon," Mr Robertson said.

"Mywife has had the same experiences. We found the workplace management did notwant to take on people of our age despite the skills that we might have."

ButMr Robertson has jumped those hurdles and on Wednesday started a new job withPriceWaterhouseCoopers.

作为一名六十六岁的高级行业资格人士，AlisterRobertson遇见过一些因为认定其年龄过高而不愿雇佣他的雇主。

几年前，他和一名年轻的大学毕业生申请同一份工作，结果最后雇主选择了后者。

Robertson说："我觉得，他们不想再雇佣一个 64岁的人，因为他们知道我很快就会退休。"

"我的妻子也有过同样的经历，我们发现即使我们有这方面的技能，但管理层也不想接受我们这个年龄段的人。 "

但是，Robertson已经跨过了这些障碍，周三就 PriceWaterhouseCoopers签订了一份新的工作。
