Every so often I get telephone calls from IT recruitment agents.
Most seem impressed with my CV and start talking about positions as one does.
The thoughts in my mind run approximately along the lines:
Am I interested? Yes.
Could I do it? Yes, probably extremely well.
Do you have all the necessary skills? Maybe not, but what I do not know, I will pick up. Fairly quickly knowing me.
Would I enjoy doing it? Probably (you have to allow for the fact that the occasional manager is incompetent and impossible to work for).
How much would I want to do it? Adequate (not massive) recompensation.
Do I have a chance of even being considered? NO!
Age is one factor, probably the most significant factor. Then there are all sorts of niceties that they introduce. But anyone who turns me down on the grounds that it would be an insult to offer the position to someone so experienced and obviously talented? Spare me - that might apply with McScheisse jobs, in IT I have no axe to grind about what I have to do.
