Older Workers Seeking Employment

Attention:  Perspective Employer

Don’t toss my application because I’m fifty-five

Or assume that I’m too obsolete to help your company thrive


Don’t think that I am frail and weak

I’m capable and fit

Experience has taught me more then a resume can fit.

The college and the high school kids may have their smarts from books,
perhaps they’ll help your image with their added youthful looks.

So pour it in, shake it up, press it down and see

If choosing one because he’s young helps productivity.

It's true you can’t discriminate on race, or sex, or age

There are certain guidelines your decision must engage:

Reliable and punctual

A pleasant attitude

Patience under pressure

Prudence, Fortitude.

My office skills are excellent

My people skills are matched

I’m always eager to learn more

My resume’s attached.

Respectfully,

Theresa Scibelli
