Am I too old to get work?

James Innes, best-selling careers author and founder of The CV Centre, solves your work problems...

Dear James, I'M 52 and have been applying for roles for more than six months now without success.

I've got solid experience and a strong track record - but interviews are very thin on the ground. I can’t shake this feeling that employers just guess my age and move on.

Is this in fact what they're doing?

Bob, Blackburn
