Hello
It may sound a bit momotonous to return to the same subject again,
but I still haven't got a clue about this very urgent question.
It's about age,
Is one considered too old by most employers, if one is 44 years of age and considering to start a new career as an English teacher?
This means, regarding the fact, that I do not consider myself to be too old at all, and that I am still as vital and flexible as I was for about 15 years ago.
What frightens me most of all, is being selected away from the electronic application system beforehand, because of my calendar age, before even having a chance of meeting someone face-to-face, and prove that age doesn't mean that much after all.
With best regards
Jozef |

It depends on where you are. Maturity is respected in some countries but not in others. |

Momotonous - monotonous with no teeth.
44? I remember 44. However, I did start out 21 years ago.
You are only too old when you are dead.
Try Language Link - Slovakia, Russia and other places - some of their teachers started out at 65. |
