    About 12 years ago when I was made redundant for the third time (defence industry cutbacks) I wrote almost a hundred job applications. Most received no reply. I did get a few interviews.

    Some prospective employers told me that I was over qualified. Some thought that as I was near to retirement age I wouldn't put much effort into the job as I would be "winding down". The HR man at Silentgliss in Margate was quite rude in that respect. Ironically I did get a part time job in the electronics factory next door running a department where my age and experience was needed.

    Some companies make a point of employing older people. However, no way would I wear a red pinny and work in the B&Q!

    I'm officially an OAP next month so I shall put my feet up and let others do the work.

    Terry
