With 55 (and + +) one is old! Some people would deny that statement very clear. Because they feel at this age better than ever. The labor market is defined to be old with his quite different boundaries.
eligible or not? Possibly, the majority of the personnel law. Is it just a rumor that people are mentally inflexible and slow after a certain age, not a few to have no computer skills and physical requirements to meet?

A certain familiarity with the new media is always useful, Internet, networking and social media should be no strangers. Outdated knowledge and application materials must be brought up to date. That in combination with the existing long experience, poise, sedentary, stronger relationship with the employer, make the 50 + to a pool ideal candidate.
