I am putting down this piece of writting on the unneccessary barriers employers of labor usually attached to add more frustrations on hungry but serious minded job seekers. My heart is full of pains each time i saw a job advert with age limit attached to it,say 20-26.Meaning if you are nearly 30yrs old,no job for you.This condition is really affecting many energetic and result oriented job seekers out there.My candid advice to employers of labor out there is reconsider hiring people based on age but on their worth

Its quite annoying. Some would still ask for two to three years of work experience.

This is a major reasons many Nigerians would continue to resort to getting a court coverage to reduce their age?

In the end, the same old people get the same job positions. Its better, the need for age is gradually shoved down. This will make people lie less.

We should rather be more concerned with its consequences on the job itself.
Countries that have experienced boost in manufacturing are those that have jettisoned age restriction to recruitment. It is very easy in advanced countries to see colleagues who have put in years in different fields come together to solve a common problem and it is very interesting. It encourages productivity as one soon learns how to incorporate good practices from other fields; sometimes only age and experience can bring such. While it might be a bit of a risk to have someone who has spent his entire career in engineering head a financial sector, it will be very productive to have him/her climb the ladder of leadership, starting as a trainee no matter his age if his qualification meets recruitment requirements.
The labour union and government must come together and discard this aged and anti growth policy by recruiters.

Sorry to add folks, but this will always be the case, so long as the supply of labour clearly exceeds it's outright demand by these organizations. Even the government and all the labour groups n laws can't force them to go beyond their budget(which according to them would be hampered) if certain restrictions are not placed on the number of trainees to be accepted annually!

Ohhh how I so long for the day it all goes back to the 70s n early 80s where graduates were actually persuaded to take up these same jobs which are been denied them today!!! Anyways, what do we know, with the continuous agitation for self employment, I'm sure those days of nostalgia will surely come to play in the nearest future...

All is well!

Please always ignore whatever age you see on the job requirement advert because when God is at work all protocols will be broken..
