Ageism

[Gaynor Hill]

I applied for a retail position this week in a family business in lordship lane in retail I could not upload my CV on the sight it was advertised so did a cover letter stating I have worked in Liberty's and John Lewis W1 and have excellent customer service and extensive knowledge of the products they sell could I send CV direct.

I had a email asking me my age which is 53 to which I sent, had know reply back

Sadly I had a sudden death the day after and email stating I would not be around for the next 3/4 week's because of this and could I still send CV even if it was for future positions

I had know reply not even to say sorry for your loss.

Am I being to sensitive

What they did not know I have been a customer since they opened in the late 90's going in monthly for my products
